The Moon & You

There was something different about that night.

The moon & you

Under the 10 pm sky

As if for a second you let love in.

I don't know why you play like that

Tugging on the doors of my heart

And at the slightest crack open

You sneak in;

Only to sneak back out.

That's the tricky thing about love

In the beginning you never really know

Is it love

Is it lust

Is it 3 am car rides singing at the top of your lungs

I guess if it's a question you have your answer.

They always say, when you know you know,

It's never been that simple for me.

I have not just known, not instantly that is,

Over time as I allow someone to truly see me

I know a little bit, and then I don't again.

This may be completely fear based

In fact, I believe it is.

Cultured by the way I was loved before,

How I let someone "love" me.

So whether it's love or lust

I've learned to enjoy it

Every last bit of it.

Just like that night

With the moon & you.
