Recoil...

You came into view,
I was thrown at you,
I want to recoil,
There's no time to lose.

Reserved and on guard,
My hearts been hit hard,
I want to go slow,
But you played the right card.

I gave you my all,
But you never saw,
My soul got involved,
My emotions rubbed raw,

Knowing that night,
it just wasn't right,
You left in the morning,
emotions took flight.

Would I see you again,
As more than a friend?
Would you stomp on my heart,
just like back when?

An innocent fling,
Beginning to sting,
We went too fast,
Hanging on by a string,

Not feeling stable,
Not feeling able,
I want to hang on,
My heart's on the table.

Take it or leave it,
Do or don't believe it,
The choice is all yours,
The way that I see it...

...I want to Recoil...
