Gin and Lipstick

I heard you coming down the hall
Like a grand piano falling down the stairs;

I sensed you sneaking into the dark apartment
Smelling like gin and lipstick;

I watched you slowly undress
As if peeling plastic wrap off your body;

I felt you crawl into bed
It felt like a ghost;

I tasted your good night kiss
While I pretended to be asleep;

I knew.
