M is for Maybe

Maybe she would let him call it a date.

Maybe she would let him buy her a drink. Or two. Or five.

Maybe she would let him put an arm around her shoulder.

Maybe she would let him think she was a little drunker than she was.

Maybe she would let him walk her home when she was a little drunker than she thought she was.

Maybe she would let him take off her coat and shoes and tuck her in.

Maybe she would let him give her a kiss goodnight.

Because you can't follow a rule off a cliff.
