I was wounded, so were you,
When you came up and said my name, I could hardly believe it to be true.
~
How long has it been? Two years, give or take?
We texted a few times since then, but never really talked or met up for fuck's sake.
~
And now here you are, your hair is shorter but your smile is bigger,
And as you hugged me and started talking to me, I could've sworn I felt my heart beat quicker.
~
I heard you left your boyfriend, I'm sorry to hear, I know how it feels,
Splitting up after so long and coming back from it, after having been so head over heels.
~
It's tough, but hey, coffee sounds great, I know a great café,
Sure, have my number, we should catch up, how's Saturday?
~
Talking to you again after so long, I realized how much I missed it,
I know back then I was just trying to get with you, I'm sorry, I was such a twit.
~
I'm different now though, I know, I can't believe it either,
Apparently all it took was a firm hand, a bit of love, heartache and now a breather.
~
Speaking of hands, may I hold yours? Wow, it's so much thinner,
We can't have that, you need something to eat, can I take you out to dinner?
~
Wednesday evening, here we are, do you like the restaurant? I went for something sweet,
You look so damn beautiful, am I rambling? Sorry, what do you want to eat?
~
We're both super nervous, neither of us have done this in a while, can you tell?
My palms are sweaty, you're blushing, the waiter is speaking Spanish, bloody hell.
~
At the train station it's cold as balls and construction workers says there'll be delay,
So I guess we're going to stand here and freeze together, jumping up and down to keep warm, hurray.
~
Ten minutes later, they announce further delay and I swear I'm this close to grunting 'sod this.'
But one look at you and I suddenly know how to stay warm; I lean down and I steal a kiss.
~
It's so strange to feel a different pair of lips against my own after so long, but I can't find any complaints,
So when you moaned and stepped onto your toes, that's why I begun kissing you with no restraints.
~
Two years is a long time, but that space suddenly seems as unimportant as air,
We're kissing, people are staring, but I don't give a fucking care.
~
Your lips are sweet and shy, and shit your tongue drives me mad,
Could be that it's been a while for me, or that you're simply just the friendliest friend I've ever had.
~
Of course that's when the train comes, fucking useless steel, railroad car,
I have to kiss you goodbye and goodnight, but promise you that I'm just a call away and the trip is not that far.
~
Now here we are, we're both taking it slow, getting back into the game,
But as rebounds go, I think I couldn't have asked for a better, even if it's such a caddy name,
~
You're more than a rebound, you're a friend, a fellow broken soul, and you get it,
I like you, and inexplicably you've chosen, too, that you like this cheesy Brit.
