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.
