she was just there

 hearing you draw close
 i could almost see your face
 most beautiful creature
 shaped just like a vase

 i knew we had others
 that begged for our attention 
 but just right this moment
 she was mine

 she never said hello
 i never said goodbye
 though in my bed she slept
 in my heart she lie

 we were not interrupted
 & the time held still
 she opened up her eyes
 and stroked me down my side

 there opened up within me 
 a welcome breath of air
 a boyish delight
 you'd wish you were there

 the night could never pass
 that my feelings be untrue
 i want to die like this
 tonight i want to live
