When one does it
Doesn’t matter that others
Don’t it’s like the
Need is gone we
Forget just how important
Just one really is
One song one hello
One date one night
That makes all of
The others just others
When one does it
Doesn’t matter that others
Don’t it’s like the
Need is gone we
Forget just how important
Just one really is
One song one hello
One date one night
That makes all of
The others just others
Oh hey look
There’s a a
A well damn
It’s kinda something
Else or else
It’s gotta be
Something else entirely
Why do we
Insist that anything
Ever be something
It’s usually that
Which kills it
Living up to
Things ends dreams
Things often exist long
Before someone calls them
Anything these things go
About doing but only
Be when someone say
Hey look at that
Calling something a name
Never makes it so
It makes it recognizable
Should it happen again
Before that it’s still
After almost a year
Of back and forth
Of steeplechase and jockeying
We finally did meet
And drank from each
Others cup feeling warmth
I had even before
You took your time
We laugh about it
I’m your very first
You’re not my last
But where we are
Is a comfortable place
I often wonder why
It is always hardest
To tell the truth
When two hearts are
Oh you’re a poet
I’m asked at parties
You must be ro-MAN-tic
Now who said THAT
By ro-MAN-tic do you
Mean affectionate yes I’m
That I am affectionate
Are you a LUUU-ver
By LUUU-ver do you
Mean have I loved
Yes I have I
Have loved many times
But by romantic do
You mean that I
Ponder to understand the
Depths of loves despair
Of lonely overly imbued
Scantily clad cocktail guests
That are as desperate
As a camel searching
For an oasis from
Which to sate themselves
Only to read about
It here tomorrow morning
Then yes sweetheart I’m
A poet and romantic
*and she staggers off
