When I was at the door outside
You already recognized me from inside
You came quickly to greet me
With your warmest heart
You showed your excitement to see me
Without any reservation
I felt at home immediately
It was you who drew me close
 
When I sat in the sofa, reading
You walked to the sofa, sitting there
With no disturbance, very quietly
I pretended not noticing you
You did not show any disappointment
Seeming quite content just being around me
I couldn’t resist reaching my arms
caressing you

When I played with you
You showed your happiness
Took off all your guards
You lied there in a most vulnerable position
You know I was tender to you
You felt safe and ease
The softness from the touches
Brought out my tears

I left without your knowledge
But it seemed that you knew
Your eyes showed your wondering
When was the next time to meet me
Soon, my dear
I murmured quietly
Waving you goodbye
I hope that you know
You grabbed my heart already
