One Perfect Night

We had one perfect night

And we didn’t have to fight-

That one perfect night-

We had one perfect day to pretend

That it would never end

 

I didn’t and don’t want you to be

One more story

I might decide to tell someday

And I didn’t and don’t want you to think

I’m rinsing something clean down the sink

We both might be throwing something perfect away.

 

We had one perfect night

And we didn’t have to fight-

That one perfect night-

We had one perfect day to pretend

That it would never end

 

You said you kept my picture in your wallet

But I still forget

And yours is push-pinned to my wall

So I imagine when you might return

But then all I see is how I’ll be leaving in turn

And remember that for three days there hasn’t been a call

 

We had one perfect night

And we didn’t have to fight-

That one perfect night-

We had one perfect day to pretend

That it would never end

 

So my friends; they might be right this time

If this is how it has to be

I still don’t’ want a story

I might tell someday:

We’re both throwing something away
