The Roof

It wasn't raining yetBut it was definitely a little misty onThat warm november nightAnd my heart was poundingMy inner voice resoundingBegging me to turn awayBut I just had to see your faceTo feel aliveAnd then you casually walked in the roomAnd I was twisted in the webOf my desire for you(And I was twisted)My apprehension blew awayI only wanted youTo taste my sadnessAs you kissed me in the darkEvery time I feel the needI envision you caressing meAnd go back in timeTo relieve the splendor of you and IOn the rooftop that rainy nightAnd so we finished the Moet andstarted feeling liberatedAnd I surrendered as you took meIn your armsI was so caught up in the momentI couldn't bear to let you go yetSo I threw caution to the windAnd started listening to my longing heartAnd then you softly pressed your lips to mineAnd feelings surfaced I'd suppressedFor such a long time(And I was lifted)And for a while I forgotThe sorrow and the painAnd melted with you as we stoodThere in the rainEvery time I feel the needI envision you caressing meAnd go back in timeTo relieve the splendor of you and IOn the rooftop that rainy nightLast night I dreamed that IWhispered the words I love youAnd touched you so verySubtly as we were kissing goodbye(Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)Every time I feel the needI envision you caressing meAnd go back in timeTo relieve the splendor of you and IOn the rooftop that rainy nightEvery time I feel the need(Last nigth I had the strangest dream...)I envision you caressing me(I was actually quite symbolic)And go back in time(As I whispered... That I loved you)To relieve the splendor of you and I(... very subtly)
