Tonight

Let us leave our pasts behind 

Just for tonight

Shedding it all right outside the door

As you enter into my life for tonight 

Let nothing else matter 

Not yesterdays nor tomorrows 

All that exists is the here and now 

Just you and me 

Let me trace the outline of your lips with mine 

Take in the scent of you 

Fresh sweat mingled with honeysuckle 

The scars on your body, let me memorize it for they make you more beautiful 

Open hair spilling across and falling on your shoulders 

That bead of nervous sweat on your upper lip 

Let me kiss it away, just like your many troubles 

Skin on skin, let our bodies create a music for our ears alone

Your eyes dark with desire reminds me of the moonless night right outside

The kohl beneath them turning into a darker shade of midnight 

Dips and valleys of your body 

Now familiar like my own 

Tomorrow I have to get back to my life 

And you have to too 

But tonight is ours and ours alone 

Let me cherish and imprint this night on my feeble memory forever 

For you and you alone...
