Paramour
My secret love

This girl
I see her shadow in the alley way
Can you come to my house?
Its only two blocks away.

What is it about this girl?
That makes me so romantic
All the gifts she gives me
Almost every one of them is an antique.

Whenever I look at you
I feel gifted
Whenever you brush past me
I feel lifted.

When you talk to me
I hear a compliment
Just you and me
No one is more dominant.

Now I know
Why I am so thrilled
It’s because you’re in my life
My wish has been fulfilled!
