// Turn around to see you
In a crowded place
I watch for the emotions
On a guarded face
Saying lead me on//

I felt the eyes fall on the back of my neck. I had to turn around. When I saw him. I didn’t know what to see in his eyes, but I knew I was finally safe. I walked towards him, when the shadows fell from his eyes.

// Victim of a dream
And a memory
But when I try to break away
You say to me
Come on lead me on//

When I saw you with Lynn I felt stabbed in the heart. That night I tried to leave my dreams and hopes at Lynn’s doorstep. I said to myself I didn’t need you. I got what I wanted. Now I know I haven’t stamped the flame out. It’s still burning. I feel compelled to follow you. I didn’t know what was burning in your eyes, but I had to know.

// A matter of time
In the reaches of space
Caught up in the patterns
In the light of a life
Walk across the bridge
To the shadows of the night//

You slipped though me fingers once before. I’m not going to loose you again. I still can’t believe your really here. It must be some wonderful dream. Because in a few moments you’ll turn around and tell me how much of a fool I am. I steel myself for the bitter tide of words that is to come. Bud suddenly stops. We have arrived at our destination. The Records Room, where all started.

// Voices in the night
Chase the dreams away
Looking in the mirror
It’s easy to say
Come on lead me on//

There’s nobody in my life that makes me feel this way. I’ve only thought about my career, until I met you. It’s been lonely at the top. I have had plenty of offers, but none them appealed to me. It’s true I found Lynn attractive, but even, I was trying to find traces of Bud in her.

// The choices of a lifetime
In the dreams of day
When the coast is getting clearer
I hear you say
Lead me on//

They won’t care, unless I screw up. Once a year they remind me of the deal I’d made concerning the “Night Owl” case. They needed not worry about me. I haven’t forgotten the terms we arranged. They get me and they leave Bud and Lynn alone. Its worked likes a charm till Bud came back. Now I have a sneaking suspicion that I.A. will be knocking at our door, some time soon.

This is the only time in my life has made any sense at all. Tonight the darkness never looked so welcoming as it does now. He’s behind me as I looked into the mirror. He’s naked from the waist up. I trace the scar on his shoulder, that is reflected on the mirror. I see him shiver. I undress for time not for sleep, but to tease. I ignore him and go about my normal routine. I feel his eyes follow me around the room. As I open my wardrobe, I hear him walk right behind me. I feel faint with anticipation.

//A matter out of time
In the look on your face
Caught up in the patterns
In the light of the life
Walk across the bridge
To the shadows of the night//

I never knew how gentle it could be. I thought Bud would want rough and intense/ I was wrong. He was patient and tolerant. I slowly found out what made him moan and twitch. He whispered to me after it was all over. Bring me down after we flew with the angels.

I might forget the room and the date, but I won’t forget this moment. If end up hating each other, I want this moment to be perfect.

//I can keep believing in you and me
My love
Finding the answers that we need –
Sometimes it’s meant to be//

Sometimes I forgot that Bud could read my mind. It’s how we broke Lowe. We talked about what both wanted out of this relationship. The question about Lynn crept up. Bud said he still loved her, but not in the way felt about me. This feels so right. However we have to be careful. The department would frown on this, if this came to light. Bud said he could do discreet. I know I can. It going to be hard not able to show how much we mean each other.

// Turn around to see you
In a crowded place
I watched for the emotions
As they across your face
Saying lead me on
I see you in a dream
And a memory
A captive of the night
You say to me
Lead me on//

Everyone thinks I’m crazy for being a partner up to Bud White. They said I only teamed up with him, so I won’t dirty my hands. I don’t care.
