The Idea

Is it really you I like
Or is it the idea
Is this my heart talking
Or is this the fear

Is it what you represent
The actions that you make
Is it really you I like
Or the things that you say

Do I like the way you shake
and shiver when we kiss
Is it you or is it the passion
That I truly miss

When I lie in bed without you
I miss your arm not being there
To wrap around and hold me close
But is that really fair

Is it really you I want
Your breath in my ear
Your head next to mine
Do I want you near

Do I like the fact its you
Who's fingertips trace my skin
Who holds me ever so gently
As if I could cave in

I've got to stop holding back
Step forward and face the fear
To find out what seems to be
Really happening here.

Is it really you I like
Or is it the idea...
