A little less than love
She wore a smile on her face the day she saw him first
It wasn't the feeling a total stranger would give
She wasn't scared, neither was she shy
She looked in his eyes and said to herself
Maybe in him I could confide
She had an innocent heart, never cheated ner lied
But for him those feelings had died
He was just hanging onto his life by a thread
He knew he needed space, a sudden dread
Due of all the atrocities he had seen
He kept his feelings not so keen
Said a couple of heartbreaks he had been
Into the night they walk
Followed a couple hours of talk
She smiled and said it was nice
He grabbed her waist and rolled the dice
A scene from virtue and vice
She closed her eyes as he embraced her
Pulled her close and kissed her.
She woke up naked next to him
Only to find out he was awake
I have something to say to you
She heard it loud and clear
This was just a one time thing dear
She couldn't help but say of course yes
She wanted to cry but couldn't
She wanted to stay but he wouldn't
