Only for Tonight

It seems the night
To lay it all on the line
What do I really have to lose?
I love you
I still want you
Say one word
I will come back to you.
But only for tonight.
Tomorrow, I come back to my senses.
Think fast
There isn’t much time
I’m caught up in the emotion.
We both know this won’t last
I’m much too protective of my sanity.
I still love you.
Can you hear me?
If you’re listening to my ravings
Please…just acknowledge me.

I'm here...do I count? This is a feeling I know well...the unwillingness to let go in the cold hours before the dawn...HUGS

Lord do I know that feeling and how caught up in the emotion we can get!!!!! You've captured that completely. Beautifully done.
