silver knobs, white plastic basin, clear shower curtain
test the water and hop in
you're on my mind
toothbrush toothpaste shave gel and razor
one stroke then another
are you showering too?
sugar scrub, facial, shampoo and conditioner for extra shine
smelling up the bathroom
under the raining water
heat and moisture during the rubdown

the black and pink flowery corset and matching knickers
one hook after another
maybe you could be the one
tight flair jeans and an oversized boat neck sweater
showing off my shoulders
to maybe take it all off
mismatched socks and checker point chucks
to make it seem casual
to maybe get your attention
one quick dream in your bed

autumn evening cold air breaking though my denim jacket
straight to my bare skin
are you still asleep?
unlock the doors and turn on the engine of my old car
pumping my music loud
waking you up
25 35 40 50
to the comic book store
could you be there?
25's the cost of a special something for you

video games and depression
chinese food and alcohol
i'd never have a chance anyway
comic books and cold weather
warming up under some comforters
i'd never have a chance anyway
dreaming of your cruelty
afraid of your kindness
been thinking about it
and i've decided
i love you anyway

the scent of heat burning dust, absent sun, memories of dreams
waking up alone
mmmm its warm in bed
reach over to the bookshelf to check how late it really is
the phone's strobing
someone is calling
one missed call one new voice message one message received
"where are you?"
"party's swinging and he's here"

blue green red and orange lights make pinkened walls
people i dont know
are you here?
beer bottles, plastic cups, cigarettes, and laughter
unnecessary exuberence
are you here?
cold wet glass, lonliness and fear, warm dry walls
a corner to hide
come find me
in place you might not be

empty handed i forgot your gift
chance to escape
no one here cares anyway
i'd just be in the way
the hard connection of hand and head
im so sorry blurted out
simultaniously
your beer met my clothes
happy birthday
"There you are!" sounds from across the room
here you are
and i'm all wet

the shape of your back
i know too well
i'll follow
since you asked
so you can make it right

dark room, comics and drawings, wooden walls, green sheets
a clean oversized tshirt
and it is you
heat rising, heart racing, shirtless, skin, hair, scent, touch
thanks for letting me borrow this
it's the least i can do
something you've been inside, something i am now inside
its a lucky coincidence
accidents
here we are together

it's a lucky coincidence, accidental, that brought us together
i never thought we would
you always seemed so
you're smart and pretty, you have talents and lots of friends
and thoes people who all
follow you around
so even if you dont feel the same way, or even considered it
i wanted to tell you
you're on my mind
as i shower, when i dress, running erends, and to bed
i might never have a chance
but i love you anyway.
