Our Bodies Burned

We were young
and our bodies burned
we fought desire and lost
over and over
and over
I resisted the tremors and aching
But your hands taught me to surrender
You caved first, and much more often
that made it all the sweeter
It couldn't be helped,
you desire for me

There was never anything wrong here
Not between us
Not while we learned
about passion
about lust
about the sweet things

Then we forgot
and moved on to others
where it was never the same

Will it ever be the same?
Was the feeling contained in you?
those blue eyes and that bold soul
Or was it mine to hold
and I've simply forgotten how to find it?

I'm dying to feel alive
Like I did
Like we did
When we were young
and our bodies burned.
