At Long Last

It’s happening again
No use fighting it anymore
No since in trying to pretend
I’ve allowed my heart to get to attached
I’ve sewn the broken pieces you once caused and let them mend
I had let you finally go
Moved forward with me and accepted I would never again have you
How was I to know
You would come right back in my life
And I went running back into you arms
There I laid wrapped in the essence of you
Caressing each other from the depths of darkness taking place deep within the night
It felt so good
It was all so painstakingly right
But there you are trying to pick up your heart
Trying to get over her
And my heart is terrified that it’s going to be again, torn apart
It’s however, a risk I much partake in
I have to be true to myself and follow how I feel
Even if it means, your love, I don’t win
I can’t stop or turn off what I feel for you
I’ve tried over and over
There’s nothing more I know to do
So yeah, I’m back there again
Just can’t keep fighting this
And no since in trying to pretend
I’m here left drowning in my desire for you
I’m the one that forever will stand in the center of that burning fire
I don’t just want you I need everything of you
But I stay here on the side
Because of how I feel
Waiting for the moment, I can willingly abide
To whatever it is you wish
Any and all passion between us is all to very real
Until that day, should it ever come to pass
Until that time that your heart had its chance to heal
Ready I will always be to give to you nothing but that love, you to crave, at long last
