Love's Hot

She wants to be my buddy.

You know, the naked type!

No strings attached, no awkwardness.

Friends/lovers with none of the baggage.

I’ve got nothing in life to offer a woman,

Except raw sensual pleasure.

Her offer’s just too good to refuse.

Days of laughter change to stolen moments.

The nights full of hot, searing passion.

Only it can’t last.

I need it to end.

My life depends on our demise.

But I miss her clothes on my bedroom floor.

And her looking up at me from her knees.

My heart … the distraction … I just can’t.

She can’t be here in front of me, like this.

She’s a weakness I can’t afford.

Especially when I’m trying to keep her safe.
