Mo took a seat on the step stool that was still in the room from when his friends had painted a few weeks ago. His eyes slid closed, and his hands moved over the strings of his acoustic guitar, strumming an upbeat melody.
One night was all it took
One night and I got hooked
On your sunshine smile and reckless curls
And you becoming my girl
Caught up in my big life
Never needed to come down
Now I’ve got you for my wife
So deep in you, I could drown
We stood in the desert moon
You said I gotta get going soon
A band of gold changed it all
I gave it up and took the fall
You gave me the real
I was lookin’ for
You burst into flames
And gave me more
I never knew life could be like this
Warmth from the sun
Swelling fire in your belly
You’ve given me bliss
The blues play in my dreams
Apple seeds and mango trees
You and her and me
We’ve got this, I believe
We stood in the desert moon
You said I gotta get going soon
A band of gold changed it all
I gave it up and took the fall
You gave me the real
