As I Stand Here (And Think Of You)

The soft tender feel of your lips touching mine
The lingering nights that were too far and few
There’s a tingle that runs down the length of my spine
As I stand here and think of you
The warmth of your arms as you hold me near
The tears that you cried when I said what you knew
I still hear your voice whisper into my ear
As I stand here and think of you

The betrayal in me that you still won’t despise
The delusion you seem to believe to be true
I still feel your touch wipe the drops from my eyes
As I stand here and think of you
The suppression I built to protect me from this
The wish for a heart that is free to pursue
I’m wanting to lose it all in your kiss
As I stand here and think of you

When you gently hold my illusory face
I close my eyes and forget all but you
And you kiss me with such an amorous grace
A lingering tenderness that seems so undue
I’m lost in your touch as you caress my skin
And nothing exists for a moment or two
I dream of these feelings that warm me within
As I stand here and think of you

The sense of affection that flows through my veins
The muddled emotions that rage in my view
I’m cursing my feelings that are causing such Pains
As I stand here and think of you
The regret that I feel for causing you sorrow
The hate that I have for the words I renew
But I’m learning of change in the mists of tomorrow
As I stand here and think of you
