Someone comes to your house as a
guest,
You accept him with trepidation and
uncertainty,
He spends a few days and shows signs
of being harmless,
You get slightly less uncomfortable,
A few more days go by,
You catch the guest in various
positions of dress and undress
And you start getting curious,
Some more days pass by,
Your anxiety about when the guest is
going to leave
Has now all but disappeared,
The guest senses that and starts
entertaining you,
Occasionally you brush past him or
bump into him,
You like the physical touch,
The guest smiles and says sorry,
Then the surprise evening comes when
The guest kisses you on your lips,
You are stunned, happy, confused,
angry, and so on,
But you certainly don't wish the guest
would leave,
And you start asking the guest
questions about
Where he is from and where he wants to
go next (or not!)
