Temptation

I was faced with temptation When she got drunk last night The way we flirted The innocent brushing of hands The way she leaned on me Trying to steady herself My arms wrapped around her Keeping her in her feet As I try to ignore the warmth Cursing through my body I hold her close to me Thinking how easy it would be To lean over and kiss those lips But she was drunk And to do that would be wrong But oh how right and perfect it felt To hold her in my arms Her head on my shoulder Her scent mixed with alcohol Was intoxicating to me Somehow I controlled myself And as a good friend I took care of her Brought her home to her woman Then went home myself Only to dream about her And the temptation I faced that night
