You asked me many questions and I answered them all
We spoke about people, places and things
You wanted to hear about my thoughts and feelings
Until fatigued, we lapsed into a comfortable silence
While we listened to songs that we discovered we both liked
With my head on your chest and your arm around me
The hours disappeared, and the night soon followed
To make way for a grey morning, obscured by clouds
The sun too weak to win the age-old battle for the sky
We went to your bed together, undressed each other
And you held me in your arms and kissed me tenderly
And we gently drifted off into a peaceful sleep
Happy in each others’ arms, while it lasted
Two occasional lovers, almost friends, never more
