you could sit next to
me
for hours and hours
and we could talk
about all the things
we like
and all the places we want
to go
and I would look at you and see
everything
and you look at me and see
nothing
at
all.

Well you'd rather feel
Vibrant and wired
Live fast,
Die young,
regret nothing.

you won't slow down, not for
anyone (who cares what they say, right?)
Soaking in the sunlight
trying to become an illusion.

someone like you hasn't got time
to sit around and talk about songs you used
to like
and
people you haven't seen
in such a long time.

I suppose I liked you better when
you'd get up early with me to watch the sunrise
falling asleep on each other's shoulders
waiting for our lives to begin.

but now you'll only watch the sunrise
if you've got 20 different pills in your gut,
a cigarette hanging from your mouth.
You've looked better.
the sun and I miss you.

Your words flow through me like
honey
A sweet, delicious
Discovery, like how I noticed
The way
You make my skin prickle
when you touch me
and the way you make my bones quiver
when you hold me,
you'd let me melt
into the warmth of
your skin
And drift through your veins
and
Serenade me with your
heartbeat
I'd shed and
be born again just to
feel your fingertips caress my
chin,
Throw me into the ocean and
Baptize away my
Loneliness.

I wish you to be
thoughtful, kind and collected
and content with me

County highway H,
Trailer parks,  motel signs and
your perfect blue eyes
