Transient Love

Headlights dim,
Until dawn.
Skin glistening,
Transient love.
In the glow,
Of dashboard blue.
Forever memories,
However true.

Kiss your ear,
Offer a smile.

Close your eyes,
Just for a while.

​I’m yours tonight,
Said in a hush.

Morning will come,
Now is us.


The night was forever,
Didn’t know at the time.

You made me feel,
You made me feel,
You made me feel like a man,
Before I knew what bein' one was.


Feel your warmth,
Makes me shiver.

Kiss your lips,
A hint of quiver.

Linger inside,
Your soft embrace.

Steal night moments,
Forgive by day.


​Holding tight,
Holding our breath.
Coming close,
Feeling little death.
Shudder together,
Release desires.
When it's over,
No promises required.

The night was forever,
Didn’t know at the time.
You made me feel,
You made me feel,
You made me feel like a man,
Before I knew what bein' one was.

You made me feel,
You made me feel,
You made me feel like a man,
Before I knew what bein' one was.
