The Truth

The truth 

        Getting the truth out of me is like reading a diary without a lock 
        so easy it isn't even funny
        It's right beneath the surface
        if you only knew what I really want to say
        The thoughts in my mind how their flourishing 
        I want you to be just a little bit more aggressive
        I'm not going to reveal anything unless you put up an effort
        but i'm so close to blurting it out that I think I might explode
        everytime I get near you I feel this electric energy 
         this heat that comes over me
         disvours my body completely 
         it's than at these very moments
         that I want to just open my mouth and expose it all
         tell you how I really feel
         the wounds that will never heal 
         My face seems to conceal but only a little
         I wish sometimes you could read my mind
         know what is happening. 
          Know that everytime my body comes into contact 
         with yours or it could just be your voice. 
          I get this strange arousal that I can't control. 
          This strange urge to just remove all my clothes. 
          Now don't be fooled cause this is far from just lust. 
          Mind to mind. Heart to heart. If you really want to know
          the truth I've wanted to be with you since I first met you. 
             I don't think that will ever change. 
              Not unless you changed into a completely different person.
                   Lose the abs, the smile,the mind, the personality, the
                     way your kisses feel and the way you hold me. 
                        than just maybe I might be able to forget. 
                           But here's another truth I won't.
