I was an outcast
Yearning for a fantasy
Got hit by a car

I should have died
But I was driven to save
you. I lost my heart

I didn't know then
How to describe how I felt
But I was flying

You drew me to you
With your confidence and grace
And your beauty, too

It seemed unlikely
That we could ever be friends
You reached out to me

I remember how
You said we had a future
I began to dream

I'm in love with him
His eyes burn and mark my soul
But I am so scared

It's not love I fear
It's not revealing secrets
It's having to hide

I go to his bed
I don't make a sound for fear
That I might wake from this dream

With a gentle touch
My body comes alive
My skin is aflame

If I close my eyes
I'm so afraid that he'll leave
I feel him. He's here

Gentle soothing touch
He enters me. Swift, sharp pain
Washed away by pleasure

Lex and I are one
Our bodies move together
I cry tears of joy

I've waited for him
all my life not knowing that
He's always been here

Lex, don't you realize
I feel your hesitation
And I love you more

I know your struggle
You're afraid to fall in love
I will not leave you

You can shut me out
You can pretend not to care
I know the truth, Lex

You need me, want me
Need to be inside of me
And I need that too

Beneath your silk sheets
bodies naked and sweaty
Moans dance n the air

The air is heavy
Your sated limbs tangle mine
Pease in the bedroom

Blood rushing, heart pounds
I thrust mindlessly into you
And I claim you as mine

Together in bed
Your body is against mine
And we are complete
