I try to stay convinced
that I like the distance
that space is what I need
I try to make-believe
that I'm cool as ice
when you're away from me
I try to occupy
my time with tasks
to keep you out of my head
but there are times
when we say goodbye
that I just take to my bed
I just grab hold
of pillows tight
give my arms a thing to do
but they aren't fooled
by my slick moves
they just ache more for you
I try to stay convinced
that I like the distance
it gives me room to grow
that it's good to wait
so I can play it safe
from the dangers that you hold
the dangers of
your strong embrace
the havoc of your lips
they push my soul
right past the edge
and into the abyss
I sense the dangers
of your mouth
in your words or wicked phrase
the things you say
course through my brain
and leave me scorched for days
I sense a danger
in your thoughts
it's something that I seek
be they thoughts of bliss
or my demise
no objection do I speak
no protest lies
inside my mind
perhaps it's that I fear
how much I enjoy
your wicked ways
is all that remains clear...
...but still...
I try to stay convinced
that I like the distance
your heat's too hot up close
it quickly destroys
all of my resistance
and the carnal is exposed
...and I do not oppose.
