There are times she is vulnerable.
For
split seconds -
only seconds.
She says
“I don’t think I’ll ever get married”
For now, she is married to herself-
I want to tell her I understand
I know,
I -
By we,
We-
Drink amongst friends.
"She says don’t complement
that-
That is what I always hear from my friends"-
I listen to...
because I see-
[ I've always seen more than that.]
I try to see her
completely, but not like that.
Its not like that-
When she lets down her guard,
I catch glimpse of-
glimpses
only glimpses-
I'm gonna forget,
I always forget-
so
I made a list..
A list of all the things I see besides that-
Like the family she honors-
The cross
Around her neck, her faith makes her strong-
she's adventurous-
In trips to Montana among the wildlife.
I appreciate her style
And fashion sense-
With the exception of that brown wool lined vest.
Her dark humor-
That leads to dark laughter.
Her Good taste in music-
"...the plan is to show you
I understand. You are appreciated"
Her patience when
I need her help to guide tender souls-
The good advice, I never take.
She is fun to be around-
She is difficult - Holy fuck-
She is difficult...
With her fancy drinks that require the rarest of olives.
And I see her
When she says “she cries a lot”
[ She is vulnerable,
but only for seconds
only in glimpse.
She will not be rushed.
For now she is married to herself. ]
She's got good taste -
(you already said that)
She will sip coffee
in Luke’s Dinner.
(She is team Jess-)
I see her vulnerability-
But it's not like that.
She is interesting
With her stories of tunnels and Disney Land-
She’s says don’t compliment that-
But I don’t have too-
I keep my mouth shut.
She says don’t compliment THAT.
She would probably also say don't compliment
my
Beauty-
and I keep my mouth shut.
It's not like that.
She is fun, but if I told her
It’d go straight to her head-
She says don't compliment THAT.
So I made a list before I forget.
I always forget.
She doesn’t think I listen
She doesn’t care-
I save her a seat, she doesn't take it.
It's not like that.
Not like that.
She is married to herself, for now.
She is my friend
She can be herself around me.
I can be myself around her-
[I save her a seat, she doesn't take it.
Its not like that.]
