EYE TO EYE

It was just after midnight
And the blue moon was hanging low in a cloudless sky.
She was so beautiful,
But she had nothing on you, my amazing man
And your incredible blue eyes,
That seem to track my every move.
We're sitting around a campfire
And you have your girlfriend in your arms.
I can see you just a few feet from me.
We're surrounded by friends,
The booze is flowing freely.
The scent of cannabis, the fire, 
      and the ocean mingle around us.
I'm watching you caress your girl 
      through the flames that separate us
You're touching her with such tenderness and such passion.
I'm a little jealous, I want to be in her place, 
      although she gives me pleasure as well.
And although our friends keep calling for my attention
I can't take my gaze away.
Your fingers coax emotion from her hidden soul
And you look straight at me, a twinkle in your eyes,
Knowing without a doubt that I was watching.
I'm your mate, your wife, your best friend,
But she's your girl and I've accepted that.
Later that night, the fire burned down to embers,
      our friends gone home
I've watched you and her playing together in a sensual dance
      that I don't know the moves to.
But now she's put away in her guitar case
Slumbering until you pick her up once more.
And our threesome is now a twosome again.
You take me into your arms,
Pulling me gently against your body
As I become soft and you become hard
In a dance that began with time …
You're giving me a slow kiss, all about passion
But we're playing now, we're smiling and kissing
Tasting of beer and weed and sweet peaches.
I open my eyes, as the kiss goes on
And you're staring at me.
I laugh and pull back, and your hand entangles in my hair
Holding that kiss, holding me.
Those eyes, those blue eyes.
Isn't this where we came in at?
I don't know anymore, so much time has gone by.
But I do know this is where I'm staying, blue eyes.
Right here with you.
We suddenly break apart laughing, dropping to the beach
You're next to me in a heartbeat, 
      and there's sand and more kisses.
I'm staying, I'm staying, I'm staying
Blue eyes, I'm staying
As I feel you lift the hem of my summer dress
And slowly run the back of your hand up my thigh.
You laugh quietly and whisper something so funny
So filthy and so personal
And I blush
      although I've heard it a hundred times before,
Something between us that no one would ever understand.
I roll over, giggling and I'm in the surf, you alongside me.
The waves are crashing over our bodies, now naked,
Now … now … what nature intended
What bodies were built for …
What angels only dreamed of.
And those blue eyes, still on mine.

I'm staying … staying.
