I can't have you
Still I yearn for you
I aim to please you
And my arrow falls short
I want you with all my skin
I want to see you in the morning
Sleep beside you at night
And play with you in the sunlight
Yet, there are restrictions
A boundary keeping me still
A law telling me trouble
I am forced to withold my seduction of your body
I am told I can't touch you
Or acknowledge this growing fever
This lust that sits between us
I think fate pulled a cruel card
The rest of the deck she burned
All our voices are kept unintelligble
Until I turn eighteen.
