Really

So many times you told me how close we were.
Such good friends.
I listened as you waxed poetic about the girl you loved.
She was never me.
Your idea of our romance
Was playing the King Missile song
“Sex with you”
while sitting in my car after everyone else had left work.
       Sex with you is all I want
        Sex with you and sometimes food is all I really want
and telling me that my “breasts were bigger than you thought they’d be.”
You wanted me,
        Sex with you and sometimes food and maybe a movie or a play
       Sex with you and sometimes food and maybe a movie or a play and sleep
But I wasn’t naïve enough to believe you when you said
I’d regret it didn’t sleep with you.
       But not too much at all, is really all I want
       Sex, food, movie, play, sleep...
By the way – I heard you were much better at the foreplay.
So I didn’t miss much.
And to be honest, your rumor that I was a lesbian
Really helped my edge
And hurt your reputation more than mine.
       Sex, food, movie, play, sleep...
       Shower, a shower with you and some shampoo would be oh so good
But the worst betrayal wasn’t the late night kisses
Or the rumor
But the refusal to admit that I had ever happened
       Sex with you and sometimes food and a movie or a play,
       Some sleep, a shower and a shampoo with you is all I really want.
       Really.

Author notes

I just wrote this thinking about an old friend/lover.  I know it's probably in need of a lot of work, but just thought- "what the hell?" Please give feedback on what I can do to make this better.  Oh- and this is a completely true story and the lyrics of the song are in italics.

    I think everything is great! The lyrics help saying that all he wanted was sex. well basicly. he didnt care for you. and you got some sacifaction from it.

    but the fact that he didn't even want you to be what was it....'But the refusal to admit that I had ever happened' that made it even better! I think is good jus the way it is.

    Thanks for entering and I hoped it help get that off your chest. Good luck im my contest!
