Soft and sweet…
Slippers upon your feet…
As you go down the stairs
Where no one stares
As you take the last
Cookie out of the jar.
Soft and sweet…
Your secret midnight treat…
But when the morning comes
Your alibi?
Will they let you go
If you just simply cry?
And was it worth it?
Of course it was worth it!
The moment was
Worth the discomfort that
Surely awaits, but don’t
Think of that now because
When it arrives
it will be
Another moment.
So enjoy this moment…
This soft, short and sweet little
Moment.
