I stand alone in the night
I light up a cigarette
It’s a dark winter’s night
And yet I am not cold
I take a drag
I look up to the night sky
And listen to the sounds of the cars in the distance
It’s a calm winter’s night
I exhale a puff of smoke
And watch it disappear in the air
I wait for his arrival
I wonder if he will keep me warm
I wonder if he will caress my rough cheek
I wonder if I will fall asleep in his arms
I don’t know him
He doesn’t know me
Nothing but me in his arms
I wonder if he will hold me until I fall asleep
No sex
No kiss
No words
Just two people
In the calm of the night
Holding each other
Until the rising of the sun
