| Terrified Of Love You touch me, and I'm terrified The feelings are too much for me to bear I've never felt the like of them before And the level of intensity frightens me I always keep myself in tight control Yet you take that so easily from me And it scares me half to death It would be so easy to lose myself in your embrace But I can't let go, I won't Love won't make a slave of me I will guide my own destiny, my own feelings No one controls me, I do as I please Until you touch me, then I am lost My body betrays me every time And I have never been so afraid Terri Lyn Stanfield 1/12/2002 |
| Irresistible Desire I wait here, breathless, flr your arrival Anticipation growing with every heartbeat Though you shouldn't come here, and I shouldn't let you Our need is simply too great to be denied We fought against our feelings, tried to stay true But the pull was just too great for us And we had no choice but to give in Now, though we know we should, we cannot stop We continue with our secret rendesvous Knowing how dangerous is this game we play That knowledge adding to the excitement To become an addiction that neither or us can deny That neither of us want to deny Our desire is like none either of us has felt before And though it will be our destruction We will continue with this love affair Until we are found out, and our worlds fall apart Terri Lyn Stanfield 1/11/2002 |
| You're A Part Of Me A thousand times throughout the day Thoughts of you invade my mind Whatever task may be at hand You're always there, at the edge of my consciousness If I close my eyes, I can feel your touch I can feel your kiss still on my lips No matter what work may occupy my hands My mind and my heart are in tune with you Something happens, and immediately, I want to share it with you You are such an intricate part of me I don't know where you end, and I begin Have we reached the point where we are two halves of a whole I believe it must be so I know that without you, I am incomplete But I am never without you, you are always there In my mind, in my heart, in my soul Terri Lyn Stanfield 1/11/2002 |
