Watching You, Watching Me

Watching you, watching me this nightly ritual I shall uphold, wondering where can autumn be waiting for a hint of harvest gold This nightly ritual I shall uphold been sitting on the window sill, waiting for a hint of harvest gold just hoping for that familiar chill Been sitting on the window sill wanting to go out on a limb, just hoping for that familiar chill and to gaze at you on a wimb Wanting to go out on a limb lured me in like a can of tuna, and to gaze at you on a wimb under the pale light of Luna Lured me in like a can of tuna aligned amid each changing leaf, under the pale light of Luna an eclipse of sorts, all too brief Aligned amid each changing leaf staring down into my yellow eyes, an eclipse of sorts, all too brief but I love the way you mesmerize Staring down into my yellow eyes how easily your light bewitched, but I love the way you mesmerize when suddenly my senses twitched How easily your light bewitched to and fro a slender tail danced, when suddenly my senses twitched my curious nature so entranced To and fro a slender tail danced as pure joy awakened and grinned, my curious nature so entranced two spirits arose in the autumn wind As pure joy awakened and grinned simply to engage with this feline, two spirits arose in the autumn wind while distant gazes did intertwine Simply to engage with this feline wondering where can autumn be, while distant gazes did intertwine watching you, watching me.
