I wanted you to be
the one in the car beside me
sitting still
watching the lights on the freeway
pass us by
speaking quietly
words about ourselves and each other
using stories as a reason to stay
there in the moment
I wanted the way you can hear someones smile
rather than see it
I wanted you to be one hundred percent mine
just for that short amount of time
I wanted you to be a simple pleasure
a single simple moment
I wanted you to be something you were not
for I came to realize
you were not simple at all
