Spooked

You frighten me daily
In some way or another
Like tonight
Sitting alone on the couch
Eating take-out Chinese
Moping
Watching a horrible movie
Oozing with romance
A couple dancing
And kissing sweetly
To the sound of Billie Holiday
And out of nowhere
You sneak up on me
Scaring the breath out of me
Raising my pulse
Spooked by your memory
And the realization
I want you to kiss me
Softly
Arms around my waist
While Billie rings
In our lightheaded minds
I realize you'll always haunt me
And that's what scares me most
