Timidity

Do it again
So I can play with your hair
Stroke your neck
Or at least place my hand on your shoulder

Not react as I did
With your head in my lap
Treating you like some
Flea ridden alley cat
Shedding your strangeness
Contagious scavenger
Of some finite affection
Of some finite affection

Do it again
So I can take your hand from my hip
Drag your body close
If I wrap it around me
Is it you or I who plays the host?

Not react as I did
In that fading room
Contented by your touch
When in my heart the courage hid
And bade the instinct hush!
And bade the instinct hush!
(Ssshhhh!)
Do it again
So I can reach up
Caress your cheek
Touch your lips to mine
Without light
Without speech
You know I might have
Had I that little bit more spine

Not react as I did
But really, to be fair
I never anticipated
Emerging from slumber
To your stare
Or the tension
Which held the body so tight
From exploring the Night

Do it again
Do it again
I won't miss the moment this time
I won't miss the moment this time
I won't miss the moment this time
I won't miss the moment this time

Do it again
So I can play with your hair
Stroke your neck
Or, at least place my hand on your shoulder
