Get Away.
I look forward to the days we meet
Cold evenings on dirty streets
Smell of cigarette and old buildings.
A beating heart, a jacket and a pocket knife.
Hiding my identity, looking over my shoulder
I walk through dark corners with broken street lights
Dodging muggers, pot holes and drug dealers
I search for your warm embrace.
This expectation of danger drives me wild
The anticipation of our private sanctuary brings me life.
I will come to the ends of the world to share a kiss with you.
I go out of my way to become one with you.
On this cold night with shivering bodies,
Your heart and mine once again joined as one.
You hold me close as I keep you warm,
Far from the city, away from everybody.
