Thief in the Night...(a dedication)

Don't recall extending an invitation

Can't remember opening the door

Thought everything was locked up tight

Yet, like a thief in the night you steal a piece of me every  time we.....speak



I'm amazed at how easily you've managed to break in undetected

Not setting off any alarms

Leaving each wall in place

Leaving so much undisturbed

But taking a piece of my heart every time we say goodnight



Such a natural occurrence

Like the parts you've taken were already yours

Like I was protecting them for you

Holding them until you came to claim them...



Like a thief in the night..........


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Once in a while you come across someone who seems to replace pieces of you with pieces of them which in turn makes each of you feel more complete...This is what you have done for me and why I dedicate this poem to you...Thank you baby...

He must be very smooth to steal all that he did. But I bet you must have stole more from him then he did from you.
