If I said that I needed you Would you hold me in your arms tonight? If a tear slipped heavily passed my cheek Would you wrap your arm’s around me tight? If I whispered softly another’s name, Could you pretend you didn’t hear And softly kiss my lying lips While laying with me here? If I told you that I loved him And my heart was his alone Would you turn from me that perfect face With a tiny little groan? Would a tear slip from your love-filled eyes Would you take your heart away To a place beyond my needy touch To await the dawn of day? If I swore I’d never see him, Want him, need him, cry, would you know without a doubt inside That I’d simply told a lie? If I give myself to you tonight, Though my love you’ll never be, Would you take what I am offering And make sweet love to me?
Reason for writing:
My mother said this one was sick,...but I have to admit that
it would be easier to give myself to someone who loved me
than to spend my life alone...
