It was happy hour after work
My mates and I in a low lit room
Noise all around, empties being
Slammed down
The possibilities
Limitless

He was handsome, the waiter
I fixated on him playfully
My co-workers rolled their eyes
I curiously asked his name
Tom
Cat on a hot summer night

Laughter rolled round the table
Tom delivered us more
More service I could only wish for
Tom
Cat, I am on the prowl
Meow

I looked him in the eye and said
"You'd look good in a leather jacket"
He straightened up and said
"I just bought one"
And I said "I knew it!"

Tom Cat, sleek and tall
With shoulders a leather jacket was
Custom made for
I told him "I want to draw you"
He said
"Where do you live?"

I watched out my window
I saw a figure walking
Under street lights
A tall shadow in the dark
Walking straight towards me

In disbelief,
I invited him in
A glass of red each
"I am very attracted to you" I said
He said the same

The rest of the story is
A pressed flower in my memory
Tom Cat
I still have a sketch, one of two
One for me and one for him

RAWR.

Loved it.
