Out there,
where I might see you out and about
maybe beneath streetlights
or maybe closer to your own domain
maybe looking for food or a fight
or just wanting to be sure you don't miss it
when I see you here,
I love you
you ARE my friend,
maybe you just don't know it yet
and if I look like I might want to take you home,
don't let it alarm you!
I wouldn't dare drag you away against your own will
From where you sleep and bathe and perhaps purr
into my cave,
It's harder to love you here
Those who know me inside know me in a different way
There's no way I can fight it off
In here, you have to be prepared
in spite of any love
to let me be alone
Until I come back out
