You asked me by chance in a momentary passing if I happened to have a lighter I patted my pockets desperately for the red one that is usually hidden I saw you were already turning to leave and knowing I was losing time I promptly lit myself on fire just to see your statuesque form inhale in front of me a bit longer I watched you walk away into the gray fog I've never seen you since that day But I have ever since found myself burning Literally singed with desire

Missed Connections (Up In Smoke)
You asked me by chance in a momentary passing if I happened to have a lighter I patted my pockets desperately for the red one that is usually hidden I saw you were already turning to leave and knowing I was losing time I promptly lit myself on fire just to see your statuesque form inhale in front of me a bit longer I watched you walk away into the gray fog I've never seen you since that day But I have ever since found myself burning Literally singed with desire
