I touched her thigh
And I knew then
It wasn’t that
I wanted to die
I only desperately wanted
To feel alive

Funny how alike
Those feelings
Seemed to me
At the time

It ripped me to the seams
Every time
The riffs of her ripped jeans
Met mine
Like the way we shared
Our favorite song
And our favorite line

I always was
Too lucky to deserve this
But here I am

Some men may have
Unearthed this precious gem
Before my time
But all of them
Were just to blind
To see the way
That she could shine

God, you should have
Seen her shine
