She Was The One

Sometime between twelve and two

In between shopping and cleaning

And cooking and seeing a friend

She goes to a room.

She kisses him once

Eats one chocolate

Drinks one glass of water

Closes one curtain

Takes off her layers

One at a time

Makes love to him once

Holds him as is he has just saved her

From a dragon

Falls asleep and wakes with a jolt

Not knowing where she is

Until she sees him smiling

She wonders again is he the one

So to make sure she kisses him twice

Once upon a time.
