Sometimes
When We Touch
 
 
 
by Dan Hill
 
You ask me if I love you
and I choke on my reply.
I'd rather hurt you honestly
than mislead you with a lie.
And who am I to judge you
in what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning
to see the real you.
 
And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much,
And I have to close my eyes
and hide.
I want to hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you till the fear in me
subsides.
 
Romance and all its strategy
leaves me battling with my pride.
But through the insecurity,
some tenderness survives.
I'm just another writer
still trapped within my truths;
A hesitant prizefighter
still trapped within my youth.
 
And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much,
And I have to close my eyes
and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you till the fear in me
subsides.
 
At times I'd like to break you
and drive you to your knees.
At times I'd like to break through
and hold you endlessly.
 
At times I understand you,
and I know how hard you've tried.
I've watched while love commands you,
and I've watched love pass you by.
 
At times I think we're drifters,
still searching for a friend,
A brother or a sister.
But then the passion flares again.
 
And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much,
And I have to close my eyes
and hide.
I want to hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you till the fear in me
subsides.
