A naughty kiss between two innocent
faces— she calls you over:
"I need you right now, man."
Maybe she's looking
for a right-now man.
You arrive super late as her man—
ironically, flying past time as her
Superman.
Wouldn't you cape your fears,
longing for each other's presence;
though the present won't keep us
from becoming past tense.
The very thought of us being alone
together— banking on the only moment
we truly have.
You took out a loan; don't you dare
lose your interest now.
