Drive 'Til We Hit Water- How He Swept me Away (from HER perspective)










Drive 'Til We Hit Water
That’s all I had to say
for him to step on the pedal
and sweep me away.

Sand at our feet, we sat on a log
His arms wrapped around me tight
Nothing could hurt me that night.

The lake shimmered and flowed
under the moonlit glow
I watched him skip pebbles
and my heart just overflowed.

"Where are you going?"
I asked as he suddenly got up.
“Close your eyes!”
he yelled from a distance.
So I squeezed my lids shut.

I waited in silence,
His coat around my shoulders.
My nose nuzzled the collar
Sweet cologne warmed me all over.

Soon footsteps came towards me,
And the fiddling of a clasp
What was this guy up to,
Did I dare even ask?

When the soothing sounds of a saxophone
caught my very breath
Serenading even the trees and the breeze
It was like nothing I’d ever felt.

Goosebumps running wild
Head to toe and side to side
But I kept myself so still
For I couldn't help but fear
that even one blink,
a single breath,
or a faint whisper
would make the night just disappear. ©
