i never knew things could be so slow i could wait so long be so still and calm and get where i want on your arm thin streaks of tar spill off your right eye where my fingers find their way there every night we sleep side by side your hands in mine when you get here it s so nice it s just the part where you leave i don t like such a happy accident a note in your sneaker at 10 in the morning and all of my worry that you were offended and the catch in my breath when you weren t it s like i woke up and got handed a present and i m thanking you for it
