Not Yet

M.Useless

If I had a whole day
To spend
With only you
I would spend it
Teasing, pleasing
Not yet
Every inch
Until all senses were fully
Alive
Bringing you to the
Brink
Teasing, pleasing
Not yet
Until you explode
Waves crashing
Each wave coming closer
Until you can no longer distinguish
The last from the next
When all you hear is the ebbing tide
Softly lapping
Against the shore
