I want you.
I can't have you.
Some say age
Is just a number.
Your number is larger
Than mine.
Sometimes our eyes meet,
I wish they wouldn't.
When you play
Your drums on stage,
You play like breathing.
Naturally.
It comes to you.
When you sang that song,
You sang it to her.
I was jealous.
I wish I wasn't.
You looked at me
while you played.
I looked at you.
When you licked your lips
I licked mine.
I looked away.
I wish you wouldn't do that
to me.
She was there but you
still looked at me.
I wish you hadn't.
I remember that one
time we stood close.
Our arms slightly
touched.
Lightning struck.
Cars crashed.
Thunder roared.
Planes took off.
I tore myself
away from you.
I wish that wouldn't happpen.
Don't play with me.
You know I can't have you.
You know you can't have me.
I want you.
You played a solo.
Closed eyes.
Biting your lip.
I got chills.
My jaw clenched.
I wish I didn't want you.
I wish you wouldn't
look at me like that.
I wish I could have you.
You came to me
when everyone else left.
You stood too close.
I was breathing deep.
I had to leave
or something would happen.
good, bad.
something would happen.
I want you
I wish I didn't.
