The Real Thing
© 2004 kate laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP

Longing for a taste of you
Longing for a taste of me
Holding out for what I?ve never seen

Wishing for the touch of you
Reaching out to treasure me
Knowing what it all could mean

Lost inside your mouth and kiss
Turn me inside out with this
What?s it like to be made complete

There?s a place for me
Would you take me there
I?ve been waiting so long,
Love, are you unaware
That I have ached deep down
When other people sing
Of what it feels like to be known
By the real thing

Longing for a way to say
Let?s throw all the words away
And stay here longer in silence please

Lingering outside the touch
Of the world and it?s so hurried rush
To be with you and you with me

Every single part of me
Getting down to the heart of you
Loving you the way it?s supposed to be

In my desire, my desire
Is it human to hurt so much
Burned by the fire
I?ve never even touched

There?s a place for me?
The real thing?
I want to feel it too
But I will wait for only you.
