( . o O DANCING ON THE WINGS OF FANTASY O o . )
she looks at me with such serious innocence
yet with the knowledge of pain
she opens her mind with no defense
yet she reminds us both again
she says we've got to take our time
for we have both been burned before
trusting someone down deep is not easy
when the scars in the heart are still sore
and when she speaks her lips say kiss me
but I resist to show her my respect
and I tell her the balance is not easy
to give space and time and not to reject
I want her, but I want to wait
I'm still not sure if she wants me
my last burn makes me hesitate
could she feel the same as me?
she looks at me with such a precious smile
yet with the awareness of doubt
and she's not afraid to express her fears
and that makes me just want to shout
oh how I understand
I feel you my friend
I make no demands
but please don't let this end
my senses tell me
that your heart is true
and you're innocence
makes me want to want you
should I tell her, should I show her
oh what should I say, oh what should I do,
oh wait another day
it's driving me crazy, but it's for the best
and perhaps we shall both be impressed
by our careful restraint and respect
for each other today
in time we'll both be better friends
by starting out this way
Starting Out
