Lying on my back and looking up at the stars reminds me of you
And the night we made our own sky
By jumping up to the ceiling and sticking glow in the darks with glue
I knew you had a man,
That's why making you forget him was part of my plan
To get you comfortable I crack a few jokes
Lay you out over and easy like an egg and its yoke
My brain is scrambled,
We talk all through the night,
I digress,
I ramble,
Situation managed,
handled
I thought I had you like silly putty in my hands,
But you turned out to be more like sand and slipped right through
We kissed for the first time that fateful night,
Summer,
I was hooked,
I read you like a book,
A page turner
After a few days we shared the same bed
After a few weeks we were always in the same bed
I went about it uninsistent,
Just adamantly persistent
You went against your natural ambition
Threw caution into the wind and used your bodies intuition
Honestly, I was smitten about your other yellow fellow,
The second man in the act,
Blocking my chance at love like tic tac
XOXOX in the game no one won
Now we just have the memory of hugs and kisses,
Dreams and wishes
It was a big ocean,
But I didn't want any of the other fishes
