Midnight Rendezvous

I don't need much for us to have a good time,

Just a bottle of whiskey or a box of sweet red wine.

We can sit outside,

and watch the sun start to set.

And make a wish that this moment doesn’t end just yet.

We will camp under the stars, with your head on my shoulders

Wondering if we can share this time when we get older.

As the night goes on, and our feelings grow,

The taste of your lips is a song I didn’t know....

Your breathy sigh from the peace we made,

Our boots thrown into the bushes, hidden in the shade.

“Can we stay like this until the moon goes down?”

“Won’t your mama be worried if we just left town?”

Stealing kisses by starlight gave me a rush.

The two of us, blissful in a hush.

I could stay like this forever, with you by my side,

But the dawn slides on in, full of pride.

No more whiskey,

No more boxed sweet wine.

Just the two of us in my dusty truck,

Our midnight tryst finally out of luck.

The whiteness of dawn is our only light,

When I drive you home before I kiss you

“Good night,”

You laugh at the joke, uncaring and free,

While I watch you hurry inside, away from me.

All we needed was a bottle of Jack or

Sweet boxed wine,

I can’t wait to say to you,

That you are mine...

Our midnight rendezvous is at an end,

So I sing this off,

With a simple...

Amen.
