Let me think you want to hold me,
Let me think that I can still please,
Let me linger in the moments of yesterday,
When I was so eager to tease,
Please!




 
Let me feel your lips press against mine,
Let me see just a spark in your eyes,
Let me wallow in the warmth of your arms,
And pretend I never heard your lies,
Please!




 
Let me become aroused at your touch,
Let me enjoy the passion that I want to feel,
Let me bask in the comfort of being loved,
That I felt when I was sure your love was real,
Please!




 
Please explain to me why you hurt me,
When I offered you my heart, my body, my very soul,
When all you had to do was talk to me,
Please tell me how things got out of control!
Please!




 
Let me enjoy this one last interlude with you,
Let me send you away with a wonderful memory,
Let me love away the tears we are both crying,
Let me hear your heart instead of "Please forgive me."
