[hometext] => This is the first in a trilogy. It is a short story of a couple's misunderstanding.
[bodytext] => The Longest Night You inspire me he whispered As he slid across the seat Wait a minute she cried As she reached for the lever of retreat Taking a breath he pulled away That was not what he meant She was afraid he would hurt her She thought that after the evening they spent? Ok honey, it is ok I will take you home I never intended to scare or bring you any harm As the car pulled onto the highway She was glad that the night air was warm They rode off in complete – debilitating silence She just did not know what to say How will he be tomorrow when he sees her? Will he speak or will he walk the other way They arrive at the apartment two flights up And he walks her to the door She knows now as she invites him in That he did not think she was a whore He sits alone on the large paisley sofa She stands in the kitchen pouring a drink He walked up behind her and kissed her neck She dropped the glass in the sink Together they walk down the hall to the front door He holds her tightly and she brushes away a tear As he kisses her goodnight she feels loved again Suddenly she is comfortable and there is no fear The door closes quietly behind him As he shuffles down the long dark hall She crawls into bed and turns off the light The light and foreign objects cast a shadow on the wall Copyright © 2001 Roland [comments] => 2 [counter] => 215 [topic] => 48 [informant] => IndyRenegade [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
