Analysis of Thief
On shadowed rooftop you wait,
The moon casting its ethereal glow,
Proffering you courage,
A gentle breeze guiding you,
Every step an assertion of intent,
Of your unwavering quest,
Your trembling hands pressing against my window,
Your breath deep with passion,
As our eyes proclaim our love,
With sly smile upon my lips I declare,
You are here to steal my heart.
