too hot to touch

the night was hot and sticky

the kind where you don't want to be touched

guitar chords were ringing through us

my lips stayed shut

 

an mmm erupted from you

it crawled out of your throat

into my ears and down my spine

I'm wishing I could float

 

did you see the feeling in my face change?

i tried my best to stay

stone cold statue  

blood hot beside you

afraid of what you'd say

 

but i wanted you to touch me

right then and right there,

or even just to put your arm around me

instead of this feeling beside you here

 

sweat upon sweat

without feeling any heat

the tingle and the tension

our bodies surrender

under the pressure

lost of any prevention

 

Finally.

 

the last few notes leave the room pulsing,

and we are sighing.
