…

Tan skin in a blue dress
I watched you pass the glass
To hug an old friend
Then made your way in
I spent the whole damn night
Lookin’ at you, lookin’ at him
Hoping you’d turn and see
Something in me
I got the nerve
To speak to you
You had a drink
I’d had a few
But I sobered up
 To drive you home
But I didn’t know
The Texas roads
So I stayed at your place
Until the next show
It was perfect
The way you kissed me
With your eyes closed
And your heart on your sleeve
You were my perfect angel
My perfect melody
That I still sing
When I can’t sleep

…

When you’re in love
You feel
As though
At any second
You could explode

When you’re in love
You feel
As though
Hot wax has been poured
From head to toe
And you’re stuck
In the clumsiest pose

When you’re in love
You feel
As though
The world could end
And relief would
Outweigh your fear of sin
And grief and sorrow
Would be better than tomorrow

But when you’re in love
You feel
As though
With her patience
You could overcome
Your anxiety
Of said

I know I’m a dog person, and you’re a cat person, but I know this could work.

Who wants to cuddle? I could snuggle the b’jesus out of a cute girl right about now.
