home. i know tomorrow,
my words might mean nothing to you
and this night may be a far off memory.
and you will tell all your friends.
but for tonight, and maybe just tonight,
it's just you and me, these pillows and sheets
tangled up and enmeshed, and i can't tell where you end
and where i begin.
i can forget if i've lost myself in fantasy
and the dreams and hopes of you i know you'll never fulfill.
you can forget all the burdens i bear
that you can do nothing about, the stresses you get
merely from my presence.
because now we are curled up and watching "Sandlot"
i fell asleep in your embrace and it was everything i'd imagined, leading me to spare thoughts of "what if..?" that you chase away with a kiss.
for me this is heaven, and i never want to leave.
an awkward phone call breaks the sleepy silence i had quickly become content with
and you pull on your pants
and hand me my clothes
paradise is lost, a moment too soon and
reality crashes down around us like a cold steel curtain.
i love you too much to linger, so i pack up and head home.
knowing, i won't forget.
