He made it a point to mention there might have been a bitter aftertaste left behind
A place closed off to anyone else because of the past before
Maybe boundaries I shouldn't cross simply because I know myself better than anyone ever could
Or more than anyone would ever care to try
It still wouldn't stop me, but then I mentioned how there was 'nothing to lose'
And it was shot down more quickly than I expected
Though I never would have guessed the same thoughts had crossed his mind
So I pushed them aside
"I'm not going to be the one to fall"
Followed with a smile, because I didn't believe it for a single second
His voice was intriguing, mysterious, in a seductive coated tone
He left me wanting more, without even being close enough to be considered 'leaving'
I can't say he consumed my mind by this point, but it would be a lie to say I never thought about it
Never thought about the way he would make me feel, so pleasurable
And still for all I know, this could be the man I was meant to avoid
But knowing what I know, or what I think I know, maybe just what I want to know
I'm always left craving just a little more each time
Thinking different thoughts every night
And sometimes I even catch myself wishing that I was the one he was coming home to

Wishes do come true sometimes Emily

so keep hoping and I'm sure that things will
turn out for the best in the long run.
