The Getaway

Running from the house in the cover of darkness with the jewels tightly clenched, that smile is mine
Opening that safe and watching the prize reflect in your eyes and no one's around, that smile is mine.
Staying two steps ahead of my captors and watching them dance to my tune, that smile is mine.
Finding out that plot against me before my enemies put it in action to register my demise, that smile is mine.


Coming up to your room and watching your body lay there unaware of my hands' plans, that smile is mine.
Knowing that you stand inches away behind that door while I hear the lock tell me hello, that smile is mine.
Hearing my name echo from your soul and not just your lips as we make love, yes, that smile is mine.
Watching you sleep in my arms and hearing your breath laced with happiness, that smile is mine.


When my days and world seem to choke my innocence and your company renews me, that smile is mine.
My one member fan club, cheerleader, sitting alone in the the bleachers shouting my name, that smile is mine.
Being handed your "you", like the secret of life that everyone needs to know but doesn't, that smile is mine.
Walking taller than everyone, floating on your never ending support and adoration, that smile is mine.


With my sword and shield, my armor and valor, standing guard, day and night, this love, is yours.
