I have liquid in my lungs. I know this because I can hear it, feel it. I smell zucchini and cheese and all I want to do it kiss her And tell her that the teal shirt she wore when we met Still shows up in my dreams. Every single day I ache To call some place up there, And order an orchid for your door. I am reminded in my limp and my shrug That I love you. I am reminded in the fact that I would be willing to suffer nightmares every single night of my life If only you slept next to me. You smell like the woman I want to marry, And your strong shoulders feel like the ones I want to see every morning When you sit up on the bed. I'm willing to go the distance.

Black. Teal. Pale tan.
I have liquid in my lungs. I know this because I can hear it, feel it. I smell zucchini and cheese and all I want to do it kiss her And tell her that the teal shirt she wore when we met Still shows up in my dreams. Every single day I ache To call some place up there, And order an orchid for your door. I am reminded in my limp and my shrug That I love you. I am reminded in the fact that I would be willing to suffer nightmares every single night of my life If only you slept next to me. You smell like the woman I want to marry, And your strong shoulders feel like the ones I want to see every morning When you sit up on the bed. I'm willing to go the distance.
