Not Ready

Don't look at me
I'm not ready for you yet
And I will make sure
I'm ready for you when you're back
So let's say goodbye
We'll meet again in time

Glance at the clock
Time keeps passing faster each day
How to keep pace a question with no answer
How to erase without forgetting the lesson

Want to show the world that I can do this
Don't need your help, nor do I want it
I need to learn this on my own--be my own teacher
I need to feel this hit home so I can be a better lover

But this is too much
I need you to touch me
You're already here
So while you're still near
Please touch me
