Crave

So many days I’ve spent with you, my friend

Conversations, day after day, at all hours without end

Every life experience, we’ve shared them with each other

We’ve never crossed the line. never dared to take it further

Our friendship was so easy, there’s no one else I trust

I was there for all your breakups as you were there for mine

We have always had this best friend kind of love and never lust

Thought nothing could ever divide us, so what has changed this time?

This feeling grows inside of me

A longing need deep in my soul

I want to say the words out loud

It’s you, you’re all I crave

What happened, whats changed that make my thoughts a mess?

Now I have the urge to change our perfect bond, should I confess

I steal glances at her face and watch her every move

If she noticed my staring and knew the truth, would she disapprove?

Can I open my heart to her, will she push me away?

I need a distraction before I screw this up and make a big mistake

If not, it all might fall apart and she’ll run not stay

I need to find a woman to date and do it for her sake

This feeling grows inside of me

A longing need deep in my soul

I want to say the words out loud

It’s you, you’re all I crave

I’ve known him so many years, a closer friend than a brother

I’ve shared my highs and lows that I’d share with no other

My trust in him and his in me is our lasting bond

I know I can count on him for all my needs and beyond

Never have I looked at him as more than my dearest friend

All other men I’ve dated and compared to him, felt short

The few guys I truly liked, all promising relationships still, had to end

My thoughts would wander to him instead and not to my escorts

This feeling grows inside of me

A longing need deep in my soul

I want to say the words out loud

It’s you, you’re all I crave

How did my heart have change this much this can’t possibly end well?

Something with me is off, I feel lost and under a spell

My mind keeps going to him each time I have these thoughts

Of how he’s been everything to me, the parts come together connecting dots

Panicking, now that he’ll find out and I’ll lose him, if he knows

I chose not to take that risk and keep this secret hidden

I’m sure if he finds out, my friend would be opposed

I’ll date again and find a man because my friend is still forbidden

This feeling grows inside of me

A longing need deep in my soul

I want to say the words out loud

It’s you, you’re all I crave

I can’t stand seeing her with anyone, but me

My heart is hers and I never knew until today, I’m not free

I belong to her alone and I have to tell her now, not later

She belongs with me and I can’t stand to see anyone else date her

He’s on a date and I am beside myself in bitter tears

I should have spoken my truth to him because I can’t stop this pain

Knowing he’s with someone else, compounds all my fears

Fears of losing the love of my life, is making me insane

This feeling grows inside of me

A longing need deep in my soul

I need to say the words out loud

It’s you, you’re all I crave

Evening comes our dates on their way and we are acting desperate

We look at each other with so much love, we can’t help it

Our stares deepen as we lean slowly closer, our lips almost touch

A first kiss barely out of reach, so close it won’t take much

We’re so afraid and can’t believe the other wants this

But then we connect and flames ignite, our passions lighting fires

Kissing each other feels like home and never ending bliss

The deepest love lifting our souls and feeding our desires

This feeling had grown inside of us

A longing need deep in our souls

We said the words out loud and clear

It’s always been you, you’re all I’ve ever craved
