"Nobody has brown eyes like yours" I blush for you and part with those eyes for a view of the pebbled table I take a sheepish sip of our tea and slide it across the rocks You take a long drink like I should've done Your mouth isn't this dry. God, I want to . . . I lick my cracked lips and go for another shot of your eyes. They're smiling. Your mouth is still but there's a crack in the straight line of your lips. I pretend not to notice. And a wide smile breaks across my face. You exhale in amusement and change the song, Skip . . . skip . . . skip . . . Skip . . . I laugh. Trying to set the mood? Skip . . . skip . . . off.

Pebbled Table
"Nobody has brown eyes like yours" I blush for you and part with those eyes for a view of the pebbled table I take a sheepish sip of our tea and slide it across the rocks You take a long drink like I should've done Your mouth isn't this dry. God, I want to . . . I lick my cracked lips and go for another shot of your eyes. They're smiling. Your mouth is still but there's a crack in the straight line of your lips. I pretend not to notice. And a wide smile breaks across my face. You exhale in amusement and change the song, Skip . . . skip . . . skip . . . Skip . . . I laugh. Trying to set the mood? Skip . . . skip . . . off.
