I Met a Man One Night

I met a man one night,
he seemed strange and unchanged
by the ways of the world.
He took away my troubles
and warmed my heart.
For just one night I felt free
and alive.
For just a moment I knew comfort
and want.

Just one kiss left me undone
and just one word,
ended that night.

I met a man one night
and never saw him again.
