can you hold my hand?

jeremy told me he liked me 

can you take my arm? 

jeremy told me about his daughter

can you put your face in my neck?

jeremy told me about his plans 

can you wrap your arms around my waist?

jeremy waved to me, from down there 

can you hold my face? 

jeremy told me i was the best 

i am the best 

i couldn't do it yanno - 

hold your face 

and let go 

what makes me cry 

is you could 

let go 

and forget it all

yet still have it

no ruins 

no rubble 

my hands were shaking 

during the movie 

did you notice?

i know you didn't

and that's what i love most 

how is it 

that i get your time 

and i sit next to you 

and i watch your eyes move 

how 

did

i get so

lucky unlucky

i get to watch you sleep

and i get to feel you against 

my back 

and around me 

when you've had too much wine 

only then do you let me hold you 

we get these sunnied honeyed little whiles 

and i struggle 

because i want it all 

one, i can't have you 

two, i won't stomach you 

it'll been too sweetly saccharine 

for my bitter pickled palate 

and it would be just too good

too perfect

to have it all
