Just When I Thought You Were The Last Person Who Could Surprise Me…

Just When I Thought You Were The Last Person Who Could Surprise Me...

You put your hand on my leg
In the back of your friend’s car.
I looked at you,
You were looking at me,
And from what I saw
You never stopped
The whole night long.

We played pool
In your basement.
I lost,
Like you said I would,
Because some things never change.
But a lot changes
In a year and a half.

Your hair is shorter now
As I lay beside you on the couch.
My hair isn’t blonde anymore.
Do you think I look smarter?
I was smarter then.
I broke up with you, didn’t I?
Why didn’t you invite me to that party?

You may be a fucking idiot
Now,
But I wouldn’t really know.
It’s been a long time.
Are we still the same,
Or are we doing this for a reason
This time around?

You’re holding me close
Upstairs in your bedroom.
You never did that before.
And I’m being fair to you.
It’s like we’re in a parallel universe
Where
We get it right this time.

I wouldn’t call this nothing
This thing that we’re doing that
We can’t stop smiling about.
Maybe just for one night
I can be happy
And you can care.
This is for real, isn’t it?

Your heart is beating
Inside of me.
I want to share this
With you.
I need you to feel
One of the most beautiful things
In my world.

Your arms are wrapped
Around me.
My hands seem to have found yours.
There is no mess
Of covers.
Hold on,
I only want to lock the door.

I’m shivering,
But I’m not cold.
I like that
You pulled the blanket up
Because
You thought I was lying.
I wasn’t, but it helped.

You feel at peace
Beside me.
I feel it too.
I guess your necklace
And my earrings
Don’t tell lies
This time.

I keep waiting
For this to not feel right.
You’re playing me.
Usually I’d be smart enough to see,
But I can’t find anything
Fake
Behind your eyes.

You want to know
What’s going through my head?
I couldn’t even tell you.
I have to go now.
I’m sorry to make you sleep alone.
Please put on your clothes;
You have to take me home.

If you say
“Good night”
Will the rest of the hours
Measure up?
If I say
“See you later”
Will I?
