Midnight Fling

 

“No-strings attached”?

Why didn’t you say so from the start?

I could’ve lived with that.

But you told me a bit late –

My heart has already gotten involved

And you’re about to break it.

 

I never wanted more

Than a part time thing,

But you insisted that you wanted more.

Yeah, I was dumb for falling for it,

But what was I to do?

My heart had already fallen for you.

 

“No-strings-attached”

I wish you had said something sooner.

I like the idea of never having

To worry about commitment;

Never worrying about doing things wrong.

It’s all just for fun.

 

And now, lying in your bed,

Your arms wrapped around me,

I know it’s time to leave.

Although, I have one foot in your bedroom,

One foot is out the door.

So sleep sweet, my part time fling.

[An owl on the moon]

Brilliant and bittersweet. You capture so well the days approach to love; passion without strings and love without wings... A playful darkness dances around and through your words!
