"One More Time, With Feeling" It's cold tonight, I can see my breath And I'm wondering what you're gonna do next It's something I can't get out of my head I promise I won't ask questions I'm bold tonight, I can feel your lips But it's nothing compared to your hips Our bodies collide, our hearts they kiss I promise, no suggestions, no We let things progress just a little at a time Until we're both driven out of our minds I can't believe this is happening This is something I have longed for, yeah I grab your hand, yeah, you take mine Until we're both out of breath, then we find That we can't believe it's happening, no This is something we have longed for, yeah The world outside can't stop us now There's no turning back, no wondering how We made it this far without backing down You promised you won't ask questions They're all outside, they can hear you scream But it's nothing compared to what you mean To me when you ask if this is a dream I promised, "no suggestions" We let things progress just a little at a time Until we're both driven out of our minds I can't believe this is happening This is something I have longed for, yeah I grab your hand, yeah, you take mine Until we're both out of breath, then we find That we can't believe it's happening We can't believe it's happening This is something we have longed for, yeah The morning comes, but so did you I'm not ashamed of myself 'cause I did too It was a night to remember, a morning to forget 'Cause you were missing from my side I can't believe you'd run away from me I'm not ashamed of last night, but I can see You were so worried, you had your regrets At least I don't have to call you back this time (spoken) That's good, 'cause I forgot your name already We let things progress just a little at a time Until we're both driven out of our minds I can't believe this is happening This is something I have longed for, yeah I grab your hand, yeah, you take mine Until we're both out of breath, then we find That we can't believe it's happening We can't believe it's happening This is something we have longed for, yeah
Thanks for the comment. That's actually my favorite line, too; as I was writing it, I was laughing. I was almost laughing so much I couldn't write it, since I couldn't remember what I was going to write.
i really really really like it. writing about sex and gettig away with not making it sound perverted. that is a very very rare talent...like one in a gazillion poets have it. i like this piece, genuinely do.
Thank you kindly. It's something I've wanted to write about before but I could never find the inspiration to write it. I don't know what came over me. I guess it turned out good though.
