Don't You Dare Rush Things Along

You need to slow down,
enjoy the stage we're in
shh, it's alright, I won't leave you
not tonight
but the way you act, your intensity
it burns and I'm scared
ready to turn and run
drop everything just to begin again.

I'm not used to your type of love,
the gentle kind that keeps you warm.
I'm used to the hot, passionate flames of lust
that passes in an instant,
burning away any feeling of insecurity
any intimacy.
I'm not used to a soft kiss, I'm used to being left.

I like the way we are.
I like text messages in the morning
and "sleep well, love of mine".
I like the way your hand feels when it's holding mine,
I love your arms around me
the security of hearing your voice in my ear

Lets keep it this way.
Innocent and happy,
two kids trying to figure out what love is
finding ourselves while finding each other.
Don't you try to rush things along,
I like the way we are now,
this is all I'm ready for, please understand..
