I'm looking for some puppy love.
Some kitten, gerbil, guinea pig
love. Any kind of
unconditional love, really.

I'm looking for a place to rest.
Or to recharge, reboot, recoup
myself. A place to
regenerate my heart, really.

I'm looking for propinquity,
Or amity, ardency, affinity
for another. A form of
uncomplicated connection, really.

I'm looking for something else.
Something different, unusual,
extraordinary. Anything,
anyone but you, really.

I saw you today
oh love that broke my heart.
As I walked away
I thought of our days apart.

I bet you thought my heart would race,
or bear some feeling of doubt
as from you I turned my face,
and turned my self about.

But, I fought the urge to laugh instead,
I promise my dear, it's true.
Because the new lover in my bed
is better, by far, than you.
