Danger

Tonight was my dance,
I invited a friend,
My "Lady Brother"
She and I were to have a great time,
Because I couldn't get a date.

Then, without warning,
I received a text,
From someone I met,
Just a few short weeks ago.

When we first met,
I thought you were cute and fun,
I could see us easily becoming friends,
And I could see the good spirit in you,

But I also found you rather silly,
Dating a girl who lived hundreds of miles away,
Not that long distance is bad,
But by the fact that when she makes out with other guys when she's drunk,
And it has happened on several occasions....

How can you date someone like that?
Someone you cannot fully trust?
You say that it doesn't bother you,
But I think it does.

Tonight,
You asked to be my date,
And we danced the whole night,
And you were…special.

You weren't afraid to dance,
To be silly and just let go,
That's something I have not found yet in a guy.
But I received mixed signals.

We made eye contact,
You touched my hand,
Heck, you held it once….
And every time made my blood race.

Then we hung out for a few hours,
It was with mutual friends,
We played games and we drank,
It was nothing special.

We sat on the couch,
Listening to music,
And then there were those signals…

You touched my shoulder…
You would steal glances at me,
You thought I didn't notice,
But I did…

Then you walked me home,
In the freezing cold,
Wearing nothing but basket ball shorts,
And a silly grey t-shirt.

You took me to the front of my dorm,
Thanked me for the dance,
And then you kissed me.

I was surprised…
You have this "girlfriend"
I don't mind the kiss,
How could I?
You're someone I slightly like…
But how do I go about this when you have a girlfriend…?

You say you just really needed a kiss,
But is it just a kiss?
What about your girlfriend?
What about me?
Is it all drunken lies?
Or did I make an impression on you?

I lived through this once before,
And trust me,
You are not getting another kiss….
I appreciate the memory,
But I can't deal with this danger of knowing,
That this kiss was only the alcohol talking,
Or just revenge…

So, thank you for the good time,
But I will leave before it's too late,
I refuse to be used again,
So I hope that you will forgive me if leave….
But there is no way in hell,
I'm walking into this danger.
