Expectations

I've been here all day The day is starting to darken into night And I have been here all day How do you excuse yourself from this? I've waited for you like a faucet not turned off all the way Steadily dripping tears and waiting for you to realize how you have left me When we started I told you promises weren't accepted here They would never be an suitable replacement for cold hard action Besides my system had been broken since my last bout with a heartbreaking muse. Yet, you still thought a kiss and a promise that you would be there was enough And it was Your kiss was like lightly cool rain on hot summer's day The humidity from it made me feel ten degrees warmer And you touched my face like I was unique Painting me sexy with your fingertips How can a girl resist? Feeling like she is safe in the same place she is warm When it comes down to it you always feel safer with space heater, not a refrigerator. And each lip tip and finger kiss makes me feel not alive, but worthwhile So when you said I could count on you how could I say no to a lingering cheek kiss and your promise You were willing to ("practice") making a life with me Thats what it means when you touch me It means that you might (maybe) someday love me But I have been here all day Its night now And I have a feeling that you have forgotten all about me
