Used to be that I believed in something

Used to be that I believe in love

It's been a long time since I've had that feeling

I could love someone

I could trust someone

I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'

I said I'd never let nobody in

I'd only been here a few weeks but I had bonded closely with him, sitting here watching through the blinds in my office I could see why I was falling hard for him

But if you asked me to

I just might change my mind

And let you in my life, forever

If you asked me to

I just might give my heart

And stay here in your arms forever

If you asked me to

If you asked me to

Why is it some songs seem to have a particular meaning to you? Why are some songs seemingly made for you and that one special person?

I've been hurt far to many times in the past, too wary to get involved with a hot head such as him.

There wasn't really anyone in his life, a lone ranger in a tough world, a world not really meant to be populated by women.

I knew the shell was just an act, I'd seen underneath the armour but I also knew he was that way for a reason.

Somehow ever since I've been around you

Can't go back to being on my own

Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you

That I've found my home

That I'm finally home

I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'

I said I needed, needed to be free

I knew I was playing with fire, knew it was inevitable that I'd get burned but something was drawing me in pulling me closer.

Like the proverbial forbidden fruit.

We could have been Adam & Eve, forbidden love always seemed to be my thing. I've been badly burned before, I always choose the bad boys, just seems to be the way I am.

Its odd, I've not been here long but we've bonded, I've watched hidden from view at a couple of Rugby matches, marvelling at the sheer power he possesses, the speed and agility for someone so bulky.

Broad, strong and well defined, if he was an animal he'd be a cross between an Ox for the sheer size and attitude and a Lion, he's king of the pride with a speed of a hunter and the finely toned physique of the king of the jungle

Ask me to, I will give my world to you baby

I need you now

Ask me to, I'll do anything for you baby

For you baby

A sigh escaped my lips, a breath I hadn't realised I'd been holding. Just like the hazel eyes currently holding my gaze.

I hadn't even realised he could see me, a faint smile played on his lips as he saw that I'd realised I'd been staring at him.

Forbidden Love thats all it was.
