You whisper in my ear
I blush at your idea
I beam ear to ear
Don't lie
I know you are too

Fifteen minutes
That's all that fate allows
It's ok
It beats regret

Slip through the door
Skip the elevator
Stairs are faster
Out to the cool night air
Fate is brisk

Down the block
Take a left
Cross the street
Pass the dorm
Across the bridge
Here's the place

The moon gleaming
Off the pond
Where the only witness
To our moment of true passion
Is the geese
So elegant and calm

Pulling you towards me
Sweet embrace
Feel it?
My heart racesΒ 
Who's is faster?
Lean in
Hear the breeze?

Fiery heat
Our lips meet
Life is soo sweet
I must be asleep

I'm in another world
Passion unparalleled
Rapture unimaginable

Times up

And just like that
A moment of passion
Is lost to the ages

Though...
Tis better than
A lifetime of regret
An ode to 15 minutes of rapture
