Only 21:00

Dressed to kill, we arrive

shots clink under a disco ball

I sparkle, silhouette sublime

 

Only 22:00

Too early in the night to give up

The club is empty of good talk

But then I see your smoky makeup

 

Only 23:00

We’ve been talking for a while

With our eyes from across the room

Our drunken audience beguiled

 

Only midnight now

music blaring, drinks are flowin’

the look on your face

draws me closer, gets me going 

 

Only 1:00

Just reached the witching hour

Our bodies have wandered closer

Lips wet with whiskey sour

 

Only 2:00

Your hand rests on my wrist

Drawing lazy circular patterns

You hardly have to insist

 

Only 3:00

I finally get you home

Yours or mine doesn’t matter

As long as curtains draw closed

 

Only 4:00

We lie peaceful on the sheets

Worked up a sweat with hearty exercise

But too lazy to get up to eat

 

Only 5:00

I make you breakfast in bed

You’re waking to head back onto the road

No leaving without being fed

 

Only 6:00

We part once more

Two lovers burning bright

To repeat the cycle evermore

Under starlit nights
