"If I,...."
If I said I needed you,
Would you even want me?
Would you try to understand?
Would you?
Could you?
If I reached and touched you,
Would you even feel me?
Would you reach to take my hand?
Would you?
Could you?
Yet my freedom holds me
Just like I want
Tto be held by you.
My freedom holds me
Just like I want
To hold you.
If I said 'I love you.'
Would you even hear me?
Or would you turn away?
Would you?
Could you?
And still my freedom holds me
Just like I want to be held by you.
My freedom holds me
Just like I want
To be wanted by you.
Suddenly I'm silent,
The words simply seem to fade.
You look puzzled for a moment
And then you walk away.
I've just missed the perfect chance to tell you,
Just how much I need
You
Now.
