Handsome in the Headlights

Was it the darkness of the night
or the headlights of my car
that gave your face that romantic glow ?
As I backed out of the driveway
and you waved goodbye
I couldn't help but notice
that your skin emitted
A shimmering ethereal type of tan -
a stunning bronze patina sheen.
And I wondered as I pulled away,
driving down the road
was it the reflection of my headlights
that made you look that way
or was it the aftermath of our loving night -
the grimace of pure play.
