I must confess
that it was pure deception
on the part of my eyes
in the corner of my smile
to invite you in
for I had an ulterior motive;
my intentions,
I assure you
were not altogether pure,
but not as licentious
-surprisingly-
as I wanted to be.
All I wanted
was a scent upon my pillow
so that in the lonely night
I could hug my pillow tight
and drift to sleep
with thoughts of you.
