'Friends with Benefits' don't benefit at all.

I still reference you in conversations.

I still smell your flannels.

I wonder how soft your hair is today.

I kiss the walls of the shower just to hear the same pop our lips would make.

I wish I had endless pictures of your collar bones and eyes.

I wish I had endless access to your thighs and chest and that dot on your neck.

When I *** I say your name.

Your voice recordings aren't the same.  I want you to call and put me to sleep with your breath and I want this all without the repercussions.

 

I want you to be my friend.

And I want the benefit of you being my lover again.

Being selfish: it's what I do.
