Ever so slowly

Yes I'm falling

Ever so slowly

into your eyes

rising up your spine

settling in your beating heart

never imagined it'd be you 

but you see me

this beautiful young man

full of energy, love, innocence and purity

you know how to touch me

to get into my mind

and how to make me crave you inside of me

But ....... do you know how to love me

Everything you say is so beautiful 

I wonder, do you mean it all 

Or if you're just too smooth

Brazilian and Jamaican roots

A ladies man through and through 

I hope you feel me like you say you do 

Coz you've got into me

mind, body and spirit

my heart and soul moments away 

from opening up to your sweet kiss

but i'm scared 

Scared you see me more clearly than I see you 

Scared you know me better than i know you 

scared you read me like the open book i am 

you're an enigma to me

will you take me as i am and 

love me through and through 

or is this just a game to you 

a notch on your night stand

a number in your black book 

Just scared is what my gut tells me 

be free to love him 

allow him in and just be me 

be free to fall in love with him 

Ever ......so ........slowly........
