Letting Her Down Easy

He let her down easy
He didn’t want to hurt her
Gently, gently he drew away
A little more everyday
He was a gentleman
And would never make
Her little heart pay
For his BIG mistake...

So he let her down easy
Easy…easy…easy….
Slowly…slowly…he’d recede
Till he’d fade away
Gently…gently…she’d never know
The emotional investment too high
More than he bargained for
Not an easy ride
He let her down easy…

Little did he know
That while he was perfecting the show
Someone saw her beauty
And was laying her down gently
Gently…gently
Nice and slow
Laying her down gently...tilting her head
Closing his lips over her mouth
Investment of all his time
And heart besides….
Laying her down gently
A real gentleman
Making her feel 
His words were real
Laying her down real slow
Making love to her
Gently...gently….
Nice and S L O W
Laying her down
Loving the sound
Listening to her moan
Laying her down..... 
G E N T L Y.....

You have summed it all very well, beautiful Charmain! :) Hugs!

Richard D Seal July 24, 2013 at 5:01 PM Where are you getting your inspiration from my little desert Orchid lol. People can always change their minds you know. Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian July 25, 2013 at 9:02 PM It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind. Some stereotypes are good! Depends what you are changing your mind about, Mr. Seal....A person can't really change his/her mind on issues of honor, when his/her word has been given about something...well, it happens but...not cool...Holiday plans can change with the shifting positions of the sun...no galactic consequences....Glad the same things inspire you...I...GUESS! ;) Richard D Seal July 25, 2013 at 2:13 PM Same I guess. People can change their minds about anything and often do. Like someone who is going on holiday then doesn't sort of thing :):) Eileen Manassian July 25, 2013 at 2:09 AM LIFE...People....experiences....you? What inspires you, Mr Seal? People can change their minds about.....what? You lost me there....care to explain?

Poet Tacito July 24, 2013 at 4:16 PM This was a shy & subtle slow dance, with the sudden dip in the end. Diggin' this. Eileen Manassian July 25, 2013 at 2:07 AM Ah....nothing quiet like a slow dance! :) Dip and Digging...love the way you express yourself, Drake! :)
