Just One Night

Midnight calling,
city burning,
red lights moving
across your skin.
You’re with him now,
I’m with her now,
but one look
pulls me back in.
I know that stare.
I know that fire.
I know the way
you hide desire.
We say nothing.
We play it cool.
But every heartbeat
breaks the rules.
Give me one night,
just one night.
Let me have you
in my arms tonight.
Give me one night,
just one night.
No him, no her,
just you and I.
Give me one night,
just one night.
Let the whole damn city
burn outside.
Give me one night,
just one night.
One forbidden touch,
one beautiful lie.
Bass gets louder.
Room gets hotter.
You turn away,
then look again.
He’s standing near you.
She’s beside me.
But in our heads
we’re somewhere else.
I remember
how you kissed me.
How your body
pulled me near.
All these years
should have killed it,
but the hunger
is still here.
You have him.
I have her.
We built lives
with someone new.
Still at 2 AM
when I’m alone,
every road
leads back to you.
Give me one night,
just one night.
Let me have you
in my arms tonight.
Give me one night,
just one night.
No him, no her,
just you and I.
Give me one night,
just one night.
Let the whole damn city
burn outside.
Give me one night,
just one night.
One forbidden touch,
one beautiful lie.
DROP
One night.
One night.
One night.
No names.
No phones.
No promises.
One night.
One room.
One last risk.
I see us leaving
separate doors,
meeting somewhere
no one knows.
Rain on windows.
Hands are shaking.
All that tension
overflows.
I see your shadow
in the doorway.
You say nothing.
Neither do I.
Because one word
would make it real.
And one touch
would cross the line.
Tell me,
do you think of me
when he is sleeping next to you?
Do you close your eyes
and feel the past
come rushing back
the way I do?
Do you ever
type my name
then delete it
before sending?
Do you ever
want one night
without pretending?
Because I do.
Yeah, I do.
And I hate
how much I do.
Give me one night,
just one night.
Let me have you
in my arms tonight.
Give me one night,
just one night.
No him, no her,
just you and I.
Give me one night,
just one night.
Let the whole damn city
burn outside.
Give me one night,
just one night.
One forbidden touch,
one beautiful lie.
BREAK
Morning comes.
You go to him.
I go to her.
Coffee cups.
Normal words.
Like nothing
ever burned.
We smile.
We live.
We carry on.
But underneath,
the pulse stays strong.
Because your body
still lives in my memory.
And maybe mine
still lives in yours.
We chose our lives.
We know the cost.
That’s why
we never open that door.
But if you called me
late one night
and whispered:
“Come.”
I don’t know
if I’d be strong enough
to say no.
Give me one night,
just one night.
No future,
no alibi.
Give me one night,
just one night.
Let me lose you
one more time.
Give me one night,
just one night.
Let desire
take over tonight.
Give me one night,
just one night.
No him.
No her.
Just you.
Just me.
Just one night.
