Night Walker

That night you went over to her house

Thinking she would be meek as a mouse

You might have discovered

That there is so much more to her

Her heart pounded as she heard you at the gate

The neighbor saw you and must have wondered

What you were doing out so late.

And then there you were,

Standing right in front of her,

That surprise kiss after the brief hello,

Made all her inhibitions fall to the floor

That night entwined in each other’s arms

She didn’t feel cold and nothing could do her harm

You provided love and care and attention

Distracted her mind and relieved her tension

You love her body, like no one had done before

You touched her deep in her soul, in her core

With her philosophy, melodrama and fun

She’s worth a lifetime and then some

So don’t play games with her heart

Because she may love foolishly, but her departures are smart.

Although not much might come after that encounter

Just know that on those lonely nights you’ll wish you could be with her

She’ll care for you the only way she knows how

From a distance, and not necessarily in the same house

But if you must love her then do it right

Don’t go around sneaking in the night.
