I still remember those
words we spoke
Many years ago in
the middle of the dark
Through the airwaves
and telephone lines
There was scotch
whiskey involved

But I still recall
Your agreeance and mine
A just in case
superstition for our future
And I never thought
That you would ever
whisper delicate things in my ear

Or teach me about
the universe in my palms
I thought for sure
we'd both forget
And carry on

But now there are
a few days out of the year
Where I melt into your body
The biggest secret
I can keep

Tell me that we can't anymore
But we both lack
that particular trait
Will power gone out the door
Faster than my clothes
hit the floor

Tongues lips hands legs laced
It's all very
****** exciting exactly what we need
But so ****** up
So I keep you
off of my mind as best as I can

Despite reminders memories sensory triggers
Luckily none of the smell of you lingers
I'm able, albeit briefly, to forget
