You're my sweet charade

it was midnight
in the city
holding hands
just arm to arm
walking through
the shadows
the streetlights
all were on

i smiled up
to you
leaning back
just a bit
your eyes shown
down on me
and your face
was all alit

you leaned down
slowely surely
and turned
to hold me tight
what a wonderful
beginning to a
long awaited night




you asked me how my day went
not well, i replied
you asked me what i needed
when i began to cry
you came to hold me closer
i pushed away and ran
the last thing that i wanted
was a helping hand
i thought i needed space
just a breath of some fresh air
as i left i looked behind me
and saw you standing there
you simply stood and staired
and watched me go alone
wondering why you even asked
if only you had known
