now as i kiss your lips love
	i think i can understand quite fully
	what it was you tried to tell me last night
i was mellow
	or at least i just wanted for you to wrap me in love
take me on a mind trip beyond myself
understand that the reason i wanted you so
was only to make you know that i love the way you make me feel
	but you wanted to talk
		to tell me about how you felt on life
			us together
to tell me how much you wanted me
	and i think you understood i wanted you
wanted for you to mix your soul with mine
	and love me - oh so tenderly
now i listened to you for a time
	but i don't think i paid the slightest attention
to what you were really saying until after you had gone
then i laid down beside an empty space
	and misses you
how you loved me so sweetly
	so damn completely
i think your words made sense for the first time
and i thought for a moment i was afraid to love
because of the pain it could bring
	but that empty space just kept reminding me
that you had to be there
	for me to love and be complete
so i tossed and turned
	moaned and groaned a lot
but i woke up the next day determined
that i had to say those words that might hurt me again
	and i loved you more i suppose
for making those words sink in and making me think about "us"
	and whether or not i want to let you walk away from me again
	thinking i was some cold hearted bitch
		hard core i guess the saying goes
because when i feel something deep inside
	i think it will cause pain
		and i run away
but not from you my love
	i feel you could never hurt me
	and i don't want to hurt you
just words i know
		but i think we'll try a little harder to meet these
		expectations
	if we try in love
so as i kiss your lips my love
	and feel drawn to the ultimate relationship
that first time our minds bridged
	the first time we spoke of our love aloud
so you're my special someone
	and  try never to hurt you
i wont say that love is a forever thing
	nor can i say that it will always be us
we wont BS on this
	but i do know that for now you are all i need
all i care for and this is all important
	this is all that matters
so as i kiss your lips
	i'll say "i love you"
