My heart strains to be touched
yet, I pull away from your hand
fearing I would leave you,
holding an unfair situation.
My mind wanders to be caught
yet, I walk away from yours

If our thoughts are intertwined
I will be struggling to be free.
My body aches to be loved
yet I stretch from your arms
knowing once I am soothed by your warmth
I will never face the chill of solitude again.

My soul leaps to be filled
yet, I prevent you from pouring into it -
if your spirit permeates mine
the bond will only be empty.
It is folly to take you
for granted, you will be there

And it's not fair to take you
for granted you are mine.
But I can not take you
I am not yours.
