Five Minutes .. - The Opposition

She covers her moves with a jeweller’s precision

She watches his hands and he stares at her feet

She knows what’s coming but tries to avoid it

If she keeps him interested she can keep him guessing

He moves with authority he likes the control

He smiles defiant she stutters excuses

He brushes his jacket and fingers his chin

She tries to avoid it but she knows what’s coming

She wants five minutes it may be a lifetime

She moves towards him to break down the barriers

But it’s full of hostilities and causes embarrassment

He avoids her eyes she avoids the obvious

If she can keep him interested she can keep him guessing

There’s a panic a tension everything’s irrelevant

She wants five minutes it may be a lifetime

She can feel it happening but she tries to avoid it

If she can keep him interested she can keep him coming

She wants five minutes it may be a lifetime
