The Person You Are

I don't love you
This isn't love
I barely know you
Not really who you are
But I know only the face you show
And that's not love
And this I know

I desire you Skin on skin
Lips to lips
That basic need
That drives us all some of the time
And that's not love
But it's not a crime

I don't pretend there's any chance
I know it's a dream
Just pleasant fantasy
My feelings for you are certainly real
But not really for you
But for how you make me feel

I may obsess
But out of fear
I may not know you
Quite as closely as some
But in the end that goal is far
I only crave the person
I imagine you are
