Free To Be

You will come to me 
the final shreds 
of your resistance 
melted by the passion 
I know we both feel 

Though there are days
I feel this longing
is mine alone

But I didn't dream
the gentle caress
of your hand
making my skin sing
You did look
deep in my eyes
I saw the need in yours

Then you pulled back
the moment was lost
Perhaps that was all
we were destined to have

And yet, there are more
depths to be plumbed
if we unshackle the bonds
holding us back

I know I won’t regret
plunging into the deep end
with you
So I wait for you to realise
you don’t have to let go
to be free
I will let you leave
once you tie yourself 
to me
