LET'S PLAY HOUSE

Let's play house
and let's pretend
we're brother and sister
our whole lives to spend
exploring each other in
forbidden ways
loving each moment of
long, lazy days.

Let's play house
just you and me
pinching and giggling
so silly we'll be
pointing and poking
and loving so free.

Let's play house
with bodies entwined
caressing and stroking
with fantasies in mind.
Let's tell each other
what makes us feel best.
Let's live for the moment
and forget the rest.

Let's play house
for four glorious days
'til real life returns
and we go separate ways
recalling the moments
of loving each other
and planning once more
to be sister and brother.
