It was just the one
Shot of hot rot-gut sake
But that
Wasn’t my smiling cause.
I had been smiling all night
Laughing loud and flushing deep
For life itself was forming roughly.
And that night
The goodbyes were sweet,
For hugs I was in need.
Girls and boys just being
They lasted real, not fleeting,
But the genuine of our meetings.
And the one picked me up and swung
Me high
I wrapped legs around him
Arms spread wide and leaning out
Giggling like some girl.
And between us?
Nothing but smiles
And laughter and the
Joy of being happy in a moment
Of the goodbye, see ya later
Hug me baby style.
