I.

Tell me what you think
When I tell you my story
Would you like to hear it
Please listen carefully.

I am not a good story teller
But please bear with me
I may pause to hold back some tears
Though you may not close your ears.

Sit not beside me but in front facing me
Lift my head up should I be looking down
And look me in my eyes...
Let me see your face light and smiling
And let me know you are willing to listen.

Hold my hand with your soft warm palms
Lean over quite closer to me
And let the tips of your hair touch my face
Allow me to stare in your eyes that I miss
Let me feel the touch of your breath.

II.

I am not telling you the truth
When I say I just want you to listen
I do not have a story to tell
What I really want to say
Is I need you close to me
Close enough for me to hold you
And kiss your lips once more.

I hope you will understand
That the easiest way for me
To keep you by my side
Is to ask that you listen to me
When what I really mean
Is asking you to stay
For me to kiss you
And hold you through the night...
