Of all the last nights, I'm sure last night was my favorite.

I lie in bed and think of the last time our lips touched,
I smile because it was just last night.

The last time your fingers fit between mine perfectly,
The last time the heat of your body, lit fire to my cold one,
The last time I heard your voice,  telling me how sorry you were for hurting me, breaking my heart, for trying to give conditions to my unconditional love.
The last time you put your head on my chest and made me feel as if we were the only troubled souls that exist.
And then I smile,
Because it was just last night.

Just last night you were telling me how much you really like her,  
But how you're sure that it won't last.
How she's perfect for you now,
And with me there was just fear.

I think of the way your voice had a hint of sincerity when you told me
"None of this is your fault"

I smile
because I know that this was just last night.
