A lot of things can happen
When you are open and vulnerable.
It is scary, and usually, that fear shows,
And you tremble ever so imperceptibly-
Except, he perceives better than most,
And he held my hand,
Right there under the Christmas tree,
With a smile on his face that lit up the room
Brighter than any star in the sky,
And told me this in a soft voice-
"Darn it, you stubborn woman,
First you steal my heart,
Now you steal my thunder!
What next, would you steal my last name too?
If you promise to do so, my bandit,
I swear to let you get away with it.
I can not promise to stay,
But I must admit, I wish to steal you away.
Come with me, and drive me insane, because
If I went back without you, I'd be crazy."
