Need To Be In Your Embraces

by Nat the dreamer   Oct 30, 2005


I try to not look hurt by your words,
when you talk about the both of you.
Everyone says you're perfect together,
and I pretend I think that too.

Did you know I have a good memory?
I remember everything you say
everything we've laughed about
down to the time and the day.

When you smile with your eyes bright
is when the sun shines.
And the rays that stream into my heart,
fall into each of these lines.

I couldn't of been happier,
when you asked me to dance.
She was unable to make it,
tonight was my chance.

I put on my best shoes,
and I curled my hair.
2 hours in front of the mirror,
deciding what to wear.

I chose a dark blue dress,
to match the color of your eyes.
I have to admit i looked great,
it was you i wanted to surpise.

I want to know did you think of her
when our bodies were so near.
I couldn't even breath,
my vision wasn't clear.

Would you rather have gone with her?
Or did I do just fine?
would you still say the same thing,
If I told you i wanted you to be mine.

You don't know it yet,
but you do love me.
maybe when she breaks your heart,
you will be the one to agree.

'Till that day you'll be seeing me,
but in all the wrong places.
The only place I need to be,
is stuck in your embraces.
