When I looked at you and finally really saw you,
Looked into your eyes and saw you for the first time,
It seemed impossible, incredible, unbelievable
That you I'd finally find in this our lifetime.
I had given up searching for you, the one and only lover,
I could share the craziest dreams with together,
And there you were looking at me, as if coming from the past,
It seemed your eyes were asking:
"Have we found each other at last?"
At first it was easy, I was happy just to see you,
Grateful for each moment we were sharing,
I was finally I, the real true me, myself,
Loving, and dreaming, and caring...
But - it's become so hard to pretend you're just a friend
When my heart is screaming out for more, much more,
It's getting out of control, "just a frined" is not my role,
I want these silly lies and games to stop and end, and say:
Please, touch me for real, and hold me for real,
Make love to me and stop my heart screaming,
Make love to me for real, I need to feel you for real
So I'll know I have not just made you up and I'm not just dreaming,
So we know we are here for real and we are not dreaming.
