Impulse

© Francisco Guzman 2006

Its impulse to want to touch your face when I see you
Hoping that your arms wrap around me as tightly as I long to hold you
Its impulse for me to smile whenever I see yours
Hoping that you will one day recite those words that I have been longing to tell you

My feelings are intertwining with instinct
Something that is hard for me to distinct
Are emotions taking me over, not letting go?
Or is destiny maneuvering my reactions that are meant to be so

I cant help the way your words become my obsession
It seems that the sense of reality is no longer in my possession
I cant help but tremble every time our eyes meet
It seems like in this battle you have won and caused my defeat

Its impulse to want to hold your hand forever and a day
Hoping that youll realize what Ive known, we are to be together someday
Its impulse for me to want to love, for I cant imagine me without it
Hoping that everything I feel has a purpose and a meaning leading to you

Im fighting myself for the words I want to speak
Im holding myself up for in your sight I become weak
Im hesitating to ask if what you feel for me is the same
Im wondering if the answer will make me lose control like the sound of your name

Impulse has left me soaring so deeply into your eyes
Gazing hopelessly in the endless darkness that is the sky
I need to know if what I feel is a decision of the heart
Need to make sure that my mind is telling me the same
