We meet again
Our touch forbidden
Walking home
Panic-stricken
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
We meet again
Our touch forbidden
Walking home
Panic-stricken
I think
I’m falling
In love with you
Though I don’t
Even know
Your name
Maybe
One day
I’ll have the courage
To find a way to encourage
You to feel
The same
I could love you
Very much
Or I could love you
Not at all
Either way
I have to say
We would have
A fucking ball
I just don’t think I can
She said
Because of what happened
To me
We don’t have to do anything
He said
Other than sit here
And breathe
I missed you
So much today
It really
Fucking hurt
I wish
I could call
To say sorry
For it all
And that it would actually
Fucking work
God knows why
I ended up staying
Competing with you
When you weren’t even playing
Still trying
My best
Though you’re
Long gone
So desperate
To prove
That
I was the one
I wonder
If I told you
What you
Would really think
Would you
Dismiss me
Out of hand
Or encourage me
With a wink
Who knew
That after waiting
For all
This fucking time
All it
Would take
Was just one embrace
For happiness
To be mine
Although not
An epic
Love affair
Or history
In the making
Just know
I’ll be here
Every year
And ready
For the taking
I don’t know
If I lost you
Or if
You were never
Really mine
Either way
You’re gone
So I’ll keep
Moving on
And maybe
Figure it out
In time
Why don’t we
Just hit rewind
Go back to another
Place and time
Relive the day
That we first met
And when we didn’t
Hate each other yet
What happened to
“I’ll make you happy baby,
Just wait and see”
It’s been more like
“Give me an inch baby,
And I’ll take fucking three”
I’m sorry
To have to say it
But I don’t think
About you
Anymore
And if that sounds
Unkind
I can, once again,
Outline
How it was you
Who closed
That door
I guess you were feeling lonely
Or particularly sad that day
As they are the only two reasons
You would look at me that way
If I was ten years younger
He said
Then I’d certainly be more bold
If you were ten years younger
She said
Then you’d still be way too old
Don’t think
I’ll let you
Just lie there
All backwards cap
And grey
Sweatpants
For we both
Know when
I count
To ten
You won’t stand
Even half
A chance
I wouldn’t have
Invited you
If I didn’t want
You to come
Plus, I can’t go home
On my own
As my batteries
Are done
I am truly sorry
He said
I never meant
To break your heart
Maybe it would’ve been better
She said
To have been honest
From the start
I’m not looking
For a relationship
I don’t want
To have sex
But we can walk
Just to talk
And maybe see
What happens next
I wonder will you catch me
He said
If I should stumble and fall
I don’t even think I’d bother
She said
Putting my hand out at all
Let us stop
Take a pew
There’s something
I need
To say to you
I have to ask
Now that he’s dead
Do you think
You could ever
Love me instead?
I thought
I would
Be better
If I could just
Forget
About you
But it’s proving
Too hard
With a heart
This scarred
To move on
With anyone new
And when
That time
Rolls around
There will be
No hesitating
For when you,
Finally,
Decide to call
I will be here,
Waiting
When
The night is over
And the deed
Is done
I’ll just see
Myself out
Knowing full well
You have won
It was only
When my fingers
Were well
And truly burnt
That I realised
We were good together
Until we really
Fucking weren’t
If only
I’d known then
That we would never
Have sex again
I’d have traced
Every inch of you
And etched it
In my brain
I’m glad that we were introduced
And shared a drink or two
It’s been ages since I’ve had a laugh
And danced the whole night through
Yet I’m sorry I also got awkward
When it was time to say goodbye
I just wasn’t sure what to do
About that twinkle in your eye
I talk a very good game you see
And can still flirt up a storm
But when push, inevitably, comes to shove
I’m simply unable to perform
It was never
Real love
It wasn’t even
Infatuation
You were just a way
To brighten the day
And help offset
My frustration
You weren’t
The first
You won’t be
The last
But you certainly were
My everything
It’s good to see
You’re moving on
It’s just a shame
That it’s with her
I wish you well
Although time will tell
If you will get
What you deserve
