Peering Through My Lovers Eyes


His souls as dark as night But he shines as bright as day There's nothing he'll do That wouldn't take my breath away An instant image My stomach will start to flutter An instant thought My mind will start to wonder If this is just a game of pain Wondering what he wants Curious to what he'll gain If he wants me for me Or if its all just a trick But for some reason The thought makes me sick As if its an impossibility Like he couldn't do that kind of work As I think about holding him And gripping his shirt As we make our plans For the spring break season And again I start to wonder What is his reason He says he wants me He says he cares He says he loves me Like he'll always be there And in truth he has But I'm afraid for us both Because of my past I don't wanna push him away Like I always end up doing But he's so far away Since the time of his moving I'm just so confused Why me out of all people Then he says I'm amazing Maybe I should peer through his peep hole What he may see Might not be within my sight But I told him that I'd try I told him that I might I may not understand It may not make sense But just thinking about his touch Well it leaves me in suspense I've got a little more time to wait For the time slowly flies by But I'm going to take his bait And I'm not gonna ask why No second thoughts No feelings of doubt I'm not gonna care Or end up chickening out Not like last time Or with the last man in line I'm gonna give him my all And then maybe I'll shine
