he smells strongly of cedar doped lightly with american spirits i'm determined to break my heart again and again keep loving & keep moving on simultaneously i keep doing this maybe i am a romantic after all led zeppelin - ten years gone playing in the car guitars pulling me in smoke and cedar i want to reach out and hold him wrap my arms around from behind i miss his heavy hand on my back guilty of backseat daydreaming guilty of secret plans to get near and far to test proximity nothing changes but the shape of this melancholia witches rave hate this and i'll love you comfortably numb - i want my head on his chest angry at myself the night i dreamt, it was just this: someone pointed out that he looked really handsome that day i said "/Thank you/" because i'd been dying for someone to say it, to point it out, because i'd spent the whole entire day thinking about it he's so handsome today more than the sweet man i trust handsome like a stranger like a crush i'm going to bed tonight with a hand gripping my heart with such strength it may implode a crush a delusion? a fleeting fondness? my beloved friend who made such wonderful things possible for me who treated me with the love and kindness that he shows to all those dear no special treatment but i'm struck i'm struck we're almost home his right hand on the wheel, the other fidgeting with a lock of his hair the dark curls that i cut for him months ago, they're growing out now i'm scared to get out of this car and say goodnight souvlaki space station shifts and tings and fades cool night air, release this grip on my heart remember that he feels nothing just be grateful for the friendship and give back the care
