I should have asked you home with me
So bold of me, “come home with me”
Where we would’ve done just what we’d do
(And we’d do them well, those things we’d do)
Instead, I dream of you now in verse
And write my heartbeat next to yours
In these lines, I render false memories
Of kissing up and down your neck
And singing soft songs of sweet abandon
These are open and imagined spaces
Shhhh, don’t tell me anything
I don’t want to hear anything
about anything at all
Just put your hand in mine
And never ever go away
Please, never ever go away
