I didn't meet him in a laundromat
He never offered me a quarter to dry
my crumpled clothes
I didn't meet him on a play ground
He never pushed me on a swing
I didn't meet him at a bar
He never said
"Hey, let me buy you a drink"
Honestly I can't even tell you
the first time I looked into his eyes
He just kind of melted into my life
And I never thought to question it
Until he washed away
Oh,
how hard it was to breathe
that day
