My Own Way

 

Hands surprise, eyes disguise what we’re doing

Not really thinking when your breath is upon my neck

And you might have kissed me if only we were both down for real

 

That would just open doors to another world

One I can’t be a part of

I’m on my own universe and surely you are too

I watched you down many from across the room

 

And we’re nothing more

This way it’ll never hurt

Make myself numb to what I know is not a thing

And keep on going, no shame

And don’t call games, I’m doing things my own way

 

I can’t lie, it was nice, you right next to me

Tugging me close as if it had been only us in the room

The night was young

 

Not like I wanted to run from the feelings

Ones that had been long gone, I’d forgotten

And you made me safe in your arms

But we both know you can cause harm

 

Are we able to do this again?

Keep it going, no emotions, no showing

No telling what we know
