Helmet's Sheen

Leather jacket, helmet tight
I see him there most every night
His visor’s up, I see his eyes
It makes a pretty good disguise

Engines roar, my vision blurs
As we wait, his engine purrs
Silent sparks come from the back
A secret crush within the pack

Who are you behind the gear?
Do you see me standing here?
Underneath the helmet's sheen
Could we really be a dream?

At the meetup, side by side
Feeling things I try to hide
In the chrome, reflections dance
Hoping he’ll give me a chance

I offer passion, we share the speed
If there's a yearning, a hidden need
If he likes the girl he’ll see
'll be his perfect fantasy?

Who are you behind the gear?
Do you see me standing here?
Underneath the helmet's sheen
Could we really be a dream?

Today, I'll ride and wonder still
If your heart has the same thrill
Leather, helmets, speed and night
Hoping one day we’ll take flight
