Mother Nature waved her wand
Basic instinct's been released
The Beast must find the Beauty
That sees beauty in the beast

Can't get what you don't ask for
Always has and will ring true
But I'm only asking here and now
And I'm only asking you

I hope you're not offended
By my raw and honest style
But I want you to get naked
And play with me a while

Nothing fancy, nothing cheap
Be brazen, brash, and bold
Say and do things we'll remember
But will never be re-told

You're by far without exception
The hottest girl I've ever met
If you say "No", I won't hear "Never"
I'll only hear "Not yet"

What you think or say don't matter
What I do I do for me
So I can face my own reflection
At peace with what I see

Knowing that I'll never
Have to wear the Coward's Mask
And face each morning knowing
That I never even asked

Well, sometimes in life, we just have to step forward and ask, right?  Enjoyed this one...~S~

Life is what you make it
Don't let it make you...

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
