A Simple Goodnight

i see said the blind mute to the deaf man
lets go for a walk, ill hold your hand
down the street, take a left
side by side, i take a deep breath

both of us laughing at our little joke
one sentence ended, another word spoke
awkward silence here and there
ding dong ditch, give our friend a scare

go to the park, sit on the dock
look at the water, then throw a rock
wonderful night, too early to end
walking me home, my new best friend

we talk in my yard for another half hour
i go inside, and take a cold shower
i cant wait to see you again
thinking of you as i crawl into bed
