Love's Illusions - Mariene Kreitlow

I don't want my defenses at least not very long

And I don't want to use my will against you

But the lure of promises is very very strong and the words I love you

I don't want to undermine the strength that I can have

but I don't want to hold onto this loving and I don't want the flattery

that tells me what to be even when it sounds like I love you

Love's illusions are gone and I' m not a girl, I'm a woman

Love's illusions weren't wrong but now I want the real thing.

I know there is no shortage
of what I have to give
but I need someone
who knows how to use it
to take me as I am now
illusions stripped away
and nothing left but the loving

So take me to your body
and take me to your heart
and take me to those places
you've been hiding
so I can really see you
and touch and glorify
so I can really love you

Love's illusions are gone
and I'm not a girl I'm a woman
Love's illusions weren't wrong
but now I want the real ,
the real, the real thing!
