Recorded when I was 18 years old, using voice recorder on my nokia N95, with custom acoustic guitar. I remember singing these words and wondering about the feelings behind them. 

Fell in love with the lyrics of this song all over again:

please don't say i love you / those words touch me much too deeply / and they make my core tremble / don't think you realize the effect you have over me / and please don't come so close

it just makes me want to make you near me always

please don't kiss me so sweet / it makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow / and please don't touch me like that / makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow / please don't look at me like that / it just makes me want to make you near me always

please don't send me flowers / they only whisper the sweet things you'd say / don't try to understand me / your hands already know too much anyway

it just makes me want to make you near me always

and when you look in my eyes / please know my heart is in your hands / it's nothing that i understand, but when in your arms / you have complete power over me / so be gentle if you please, 'cause

your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth / and it makes me want to make you near me always

i want to be near you always / i want to be near you always / i want to be near you always

Lyrics:

It is nice to meet you.
When I am not where you are.
 
By force of memory, still
I'm much too young and too far.
 
I remember your silence.
The deafening, pregnant pause.
 
A saccharine tension
And the inhibitions that were lost.
 
Your laugh is the sun
Your smile and your eyes.
 
And the way you take me places
That I do despise.
 
Your hands make my songs,
My melodies for you,
 
For there are nights I remember
The things we did do.
