everyone wants a name to say in answer
some people just prefer chances
and to run away to run to you
is never what i really meant
i just sort of expected my heartbeat to pause
dramatically and join the downbeat
i waited too long but i wanted to
and i wanted pieces of paper with
a print more visible than a lifeline
briefly pressed to mine on a page
a rubber stamp of monday skies
and my risky knife-edge age
the backs of your knees are prettier than mine
and i guess there were some people who knew the truth
so maybe all we needed was a little more time
because i wasn’t one of them
and neither were you, and scents fade
but i meant it to happen that way

this is kind of vague but i like the occasional rhyming.
vague? for once i feel like i know exactly what you're talking about. (within the poetic sphere anyhow, i usually know what you're talking about.)
WELL MAYBE I JUST SUCK AT INTERPRETING THINGS, OK :<<<<<<
i love you.
p.s. i'm bad at sending postcards but you'll get one at my jetlag party.
