I feel like a child again, doing something I know I shouldn’t. But it’s not the same. The stakes are higher now. You’re that cookie in the cookie jar, the one I shouldn’t eat. But I’m a child.
It’s like waking up at midnight, knowing you should be asleep.
It’s like eating too much candy, knowing it’ll rot your teeth.
It’s like sneaking a look at that Grown Up Movie, knowing that you’re too young.
It’s like not being afraid of getting caught, knowing you’ll be forgiven before long.
I’m caught in an illicit game of hide-and-seek -
I have to hide the pleasures I seek.
You’re that Grown Up Movie, the one I shouldn’t watch.
You’re that hour right before sunrise, the one I shouldn’t even notice.
You’re the one that should have gotten away.
I’ll deal with consequences tomorrow.
Today, I want to have my fun.
