“So finally I see that look in your eyes - That is what I wanted after all, isn't it? To know the truth about what you feel, To let you know how I feel, share it with you... Then why can't I just accept that, and let go, Stop wanting more than we can give But I replay tonight over and over in my mind - And I know I won't stop wanting you now. You say there are limits, but we both know That actions speak louder than words, don't we? Our minds may say this is as far as it goes, But our bodies know better, and say, more. I can't explain why I feel the way I do - Maybe it's just because you make me feel smart Or because together we just sort of sparkle, Or as a movie writer would say, it's just magic. Whatever the reasons, we can't deny it now - The feelings are there, and real, and we both know So what remains is what to do about them, How to handle our feelings and keep in control. But if you build a dam to hold back the river, The water may get deeper and deeper with no release, Until finally the dam breaks, or overflows. Still waters run deep you say, and so they do.”
