Ecstasy

I should know better
than to believe every word you say.
But you talk so smooth
and taste so sweet 
that I can't seem to say
no.

If only you weren't wearing
that cologne
or the lights weren't so bright
or the music wasn't so good
maybe then I could resist
the temptation your presence
always offers me
but tonight is perfect
and moon is full
and your lips are in tantalizingly
easy reach.
So easy that if I took a breath
I'd taste you on my tongue
and never want to stop.

I think you know what you're doing
that each touch sets off
a thousand explosions in my head
but what would you say if you knew
that my heart was feeling something too? 
Would you stop the game and walk away,
or would it be even more reason 
for you to stay?

I'm still not sure if I'm ready
to jump and take the risk
of baring my heart the way
you've bared my body
so maybe now is not the right time.
For now let me pretend 
that this feeling isn't real;
only chemically-induced.
