Brave Enough

I would have kissed those flawless lips of yours

I would have climbed that mountain and taken you in

I would have crashed into you like an ocean to the shore

I would have taken advantage of the rushing blood in my veins

Had I been brave enough.

I would have taken you in and swallowed you whole

I would have let my hands know what you were made of

I would have asked you who you were and known your soul

I would have given you every opportunity to be loved

Had I been brave enough.

I blew the wish away

Let it slip out of my hand

Closed the door on finding out

If my insatiable craving could be spanned. 

I was overwhelmed my love,

but was not brave enough.
