Home....

Dark night, no stars, full moon
Chilly breeze hitting her, cold weather in June
She clutched her coat tighter and whistled a tune
Her warm abode she hoped to get to soon

The cold wind blew constantly on her face
No flu but she had a hanky with her just in case
She heard footsteps follow her, her heart started to race
She quickened her pace as she hurried on to her place

She walked in haste her home not yet in view
Hurrying along she hoped to find someone she knew
The steps were nearer and her fear grew
She wished she learnt karate or kung-fu

Slowly the footsteps were getting close
She couldn't turn her face to expose
She was scared as she weighed the cons and pros
Suddenly a hand grabbed her shoulder and she froze

She tried to scream but no voice was heard
She tried to speak but she couldn't say a word
She got dizzy and her vision was blurred
She wanted to call out and alert the guard

The grip on the shoulder held firm
She got weak and her feet went numb
She couldn't think of a way to free her arm
She was terrified and she hoped for no harm

Her heart raced as she turned around
She was suprised at what she found
Tears in her eyes and she finally made a sound
just a whimper as she faced head down


She let of a sigh of relief and a giggle in part
A wave of calmness stilled her heart
Ofcurse it was him she should have known from the start
It was him who watched for where she was at


His hand reached to prop her chin
He looked into her eyes her favor to win
She blushed and smiled this warmed her skin
He threw his arms around her and gave her a spin

Now she was was home no need for force
She skipped and leaped for joy because
He stole her heart with just cause
And her home was where he was
