IT WOULD ONLY TAKE ONE TOUCH

I know from the glint in your eyes
I know from the smile on your lips
I know the hidden meaning in your words
I know the message in your fingertips
It would only take one touch

I know you would never hurt me
I know you would open your heart
I know you would touch me tenderly
I know one of us would have to start
It would only take one touch

I know we have our own lives
I know we both have our reasons
I know we could both be in danger
I know we could last through the seasons
It would only take one touch

I know that I probably shouldn't
And I know that I likely won't
I know the pain and joy it could bring
And my heart screams *do it* but my mind says *don't*...

But it would only take one touch.
