Poetry

I can’t resist.

You’re in control
A love the way it feels
Every word you say
To me is real

I can’t trace it
The way you say it
Awaking inside
To see you again

Wanting it
Exactly how it was.
Again.

I can’t resist.
I can’t resist.
The way you say it.

It’s the way you sing
It’s the way you sing

I can’t resist.
I can’t resist.
The way you sing
You have me.

You sin
The way you sin
You sin
The way you sin
I can’t trace this
The way you sin.

You’re in control
Just like before
You’re in control
Just like before
You’re in control
You have me.
You have me.
