Walk right in my door

Catch me by surprise

Take me over hurdles again and again

Even if you know I'll recognize the mischief in your eyes

All the times I stood there watching you

Sitting open-legged on my stoop with your back to me

Or even passing by without a face

Glimmering in the sunshine shamelessly

But just by dusk you fade

Leaving only your shadow behind

When you cross this threshold will you be mine, forevermore?

Until you cross that line

Just like yesterday I'll wait and stand by my door...
