Temptation
I was faced with temptation
When she got drunk last night
The way we flirted
The innocent brushing of hands
The way she leaned on me
Trying to steady herself
My arms wrapped around her
Keeping her in her feet
As I try to ignore the warmth
Cursing through my body
I hold her close to me
Thinking how easy it would be
To lean over and kiss those lips
But she was drunk
And to do that would be wrong
But oh how right and perfect it felt
To hold her in my arms
Her head on my shoulder
Her scent mixed with alcohol
Was intoxicating to me
Somehow I controlled myself
And as a good friend
I took care of her
Brought her home to her woman
Then went home myself
Only to dream about her
And the temptation I faced that night
