Midnight 'Till Three

Midnight 'Till Three
by Khari D. Hawke



"Hey man, I ain't gay."
 
That's what you said to me the other day 
There's no trace of a twist in your walk 
And you don't lisp when you talk 
You don't "oooh girrl and honey-chile" 
But when you hit that liquor things get a lil' wild 
Then you start to look at me that way 
And say the freaky things you say 
Why is it that you knock at my door around midnight too see me 
And you don't leave til' three 
You never tell anyone that you're coming here 
You just, show up with a fifth of Hennessey and a six-pack of beer 
When you're around your friends you act like the last thug standing 
But around me...you're sensitive, caring and understanding 
You told me that you've never been able to express yourself like this 
And you avoid discussing the night when we shared a kiss 
You like the fact that I'm confident and masculine 
That's what you said as you slowly stroked the contour of my chin 
It's hard for you to understand what it is about me that make’s you get aroused 
But as time went on you didn't mind letting my hands explore where at first they weren't allowed 
Around midnight you came by because yo woman couldn't give you what you want 
You came by 
Because you had a vision of being with me playin' Xbox and gettin' blew back while smokin' on'a blunt 
You and me 
midnight til' three 
You said that you like coming over here because everything's always clean and neat 
But I think it's also because there's always something to eat 
And for that lil' thang I do with feet 
Every time we're together its all good 
And you remain secure in your manhood 
Sometimes it's hard for you to pull up yo nut sack, put on' yo throwback and hit da'road jack 
Your mind is opening up to a life that you once didn't accept and it's hard for you to believe 
I wish that these were different circumstances, that way you wouldn't have to leave 
But, this is the time that you chose 
And I have to say that "sometimes it really blows" 
Midnight til' three 
I guess that's the way it has to be 
We try not to waste a single minute 
I know what you want and you're welcome to get it 
Last night I was sitting on the couch and you laid your head on my lap 
I asked what's on your mind and you replied, "I wanna make it clap" 
This was the night I had been waiting for 
You told me you'd go easy and this you swore 
So I directed you to the Magnums under my socks in the second to last drawer 
From the way you were throbbing I could tell that we had the same feeling 
But, I didn't expect for you to flip on' yo back first with ankles to the ceiling 
You found it necessary to say, "I still ain't gay" 
And that's okay 
Because you were still a hell’uva good lay 

Listen 

For all of you out there who are living an illusion 
I want to share some news to end all confusion 
There's no such thing as a "versatile top
You're what's called....a flip-flop 

An exclusive pair we could never be 
But we'll always have Saturday's 
At midnight 
Til' three
