Part I

It was my first anniversary
I was waiting at the bar
She showed up
She should have never showed up
I shouldn't have shown up
I shouldn't have made that call
We were strangers
She had a Gin & Tonic.
I had Bourbon. and a cognac
We met up
She touched my shoulder
For my words,
The knife

It was just one night

But we clicked how strangers can
I stroked her slender legs and
Admired the bait
We spoke of sex
No ties, no commitments
Just us, and one night
..I was smashed
She was trashed
It was absolutely perfect
Miss. One night
We knocked back a couple more
...I hated this part

But it was supposed to be
Just one night

Our past was blank and outright
As we set forth that fateful night
I really shouldn't have called
I should've never walked her to the door
It was the urge to fulfill
The careless rush between strangers
I needed her like a fix
She was my dose
My heroine for the night..

But it was only suppose to be
ONE night

Part II

There was no guilt in the air
It was over before my scents left her skin
There was no note
She didn't ask me
to hold her tight
Or kiss her right
She didn't even ask me to stay
They never asked me to stay
Just an offered invitation
To the club of lost souls
Written in the code of
Forged red lipstick
Flushing your innocence
Down the drain

JUST ONE NIGHT?

I am so naive
I pretend I don't care
I guess I'll learn
To let the guilt sink in
Reduce my heart
After all its just sin
It'll wear off
If I saw her again,
Would we do it all over?
I don't care
I shouldn't care
Yesterday's sins
Are today's stamps of normalcy
In this messed up world

But like I said, it was suppose to be
Just one night...
