Uncharted Territory

The kiss.....
The minute our lips met was electric...
Warmth immediately coursed through my veins.
Every hair on my body stood erect...
My heart could've burst from the pain.
The pain of knowing this may not go anywhere...
I knew it was wrong but it felt so right.
I needed you so bad I just didnt care...
I needed to get another taste of you tonight.

It was not my expectation that you'd set me on fire...
And it was not my intention to fuel this blaze.
When we let go, my need for more was dire...
It's so wrong, but I need to navigate this maze.
I cant just let this go, I can feel you all over me...
I cant shake it, this overwhelming ache.
Aching for you to bring those lips back here...
For you to ignite this fire again.

Once we were entwined I didnt want it to end...
I didnt want to go back and face reality.
A reality where I have to pretend...
That you're not all I need.
I dont wanna let go but I cant hold on...
To a dream that this would all be okay.
They would never let us live this down...
It kills me to push you away...

The push and pull from the real world,
It's all gonna tear us apart
It hurts to bury these feelings
But it hurts more to break your heart
If I pull away now you might have a chance to mend
If I go any further you may not be so lucky
I can live with this, I can... pretend
For you, I will be okay
