Gray puddles and slosh,
I leap right over them
The couples to my left
Right, backwards, forwards
They hold limbs and guide
But I skip through it like the night.

I could hear them all say "baby."
But I rise in the morning and leave a note
On your pillow
Because my heart, my mind
Are elsewhere.

Flipping through tattoo sketches
Don't make a sound, like a mouse
I can't do a breakfast with you
And I can't touch you the way you want me to
Because I guide myself through the puddles.

So good to see the sunshine again
A southern girls best friend
I type and look at it because I can
"I love you. Please marry me."
But I erase and take that shot
All the boys wanna go home.

A shoe shine, a strange man
Just tried to educate me about salt
And the woes of February
But I chide and nod my head
To the beat of my own leaps.
