AFTER MIDNIGHT

Was it just the tequila
Consumed before midnight
A selfish deed? An unmet need?
Or predictable foresight?
How quickly the memories flooded
With familiar curiosity
I couldn't help but wonder
If there'd be guilt of 'Tomorrow Me'
Inhibitions freed, the truth speaks
Feelings left unfettered
Perhaps it's just my mind that queries
Or is yours, too, a bit bewildered?
We've been down this road before
It's impossible to be 'just friends'
But how do we halt the desire inside
Or not confuse what the other intends?
Oh, where does this leave us now?
Did we throw caution to the wind?
And what about expectations?
We both know mutual passion still exists
History shows I need to proceed
with caution
When my heart gets hurt, the
wound is deep
Aren't you afraid of muddying the waters?
'Cause there's no platonic
between you and me
