Feet Wet

Don't jump in yet.
The wine hasn't worn off yet.
You don't want to regret
Anything you might have said.

But when you kiss me,
Hopefully your lips will see
The truth within me
Is lingering on my lips.

No, I don't want to slow down tonight.
In the morning, maybe, we  can make it alright.

My makeup
Is on the shoulder of your white shirt.
And all I can think of
Is if you leave, how badly I would hurt.

You say, "It's late, Love.
Get back to sleep, Love.
And when you wake up,
I'll be right here."

Every time I close my eyes,
I want to know that everything will be alright.

So when you kiss me,
Hopefully you will see
The truth within me
Is lingering on my lips.

I don't need any help from you
Doing things I know I really shouldn't do.
And of all the things I'm absolutely sure of,
The only question in my mind is the sure thing of your love.

Don't jump in yet.
We can get our feet wet.
The wine is not gone yet.
I don't want to know yet.

So just kiss me.
And in the morning, maybe,
We'll riddle this right.
Just hold me tonight.
