What Did She Say

She kissed me hard and rolled out of bed Gave me that funny look as she leaned her head So I asked, " What's bothering you? " The answer was ," She just didn't know what to do." Her ideas struck me as some what strange From the ones before she's a refreshing change Saying if each day we only got the briefest of time With her no matter what it would be just fine As long as when at night she went to bed One of my pillows was under her head I couldn't help but asked if she didn't really want something more She kissed me lightly saying I had no idea what was in store Telling me she wasn't afraid of the hunt at all And like or not one day I'd surely fall Our arrangement hasn't been one night with some wine that's cheap For her it was the start of building the things she wanted to keep There was no competition and not much of a race If I decided to run she was up for the chase I listened to the words as I looked her right in the eye She then kissed me again smiled and said Good Bye Maybe she wanted my head in some kind of mess Six hours latter and in my head the words are still fresh No doubt she knew just what those words meant Because the last 20 years together is how it's been spent She's not on earth with us this given day Yet I still hear all the words she had to say I still see her face with her head at a tilt Look around and you'll see everything that we built It all happened so fast no time for Good Bye Until I see her again for love there's no reason to try!
