I work up
the courage to text you
And all that
Happens
Is you play her song
I work up
the courage to help you
Even though
It hurts
That it's not me
It's not me
That runs through your mind
You're number
Doesn't have a name attached
On her phone
But her name
Is attached
To your mind
I had a chance
To tell you everything
And I was going to
Until I
Brought up her name
I brought up the
two-Syllable name
In 1000 words
But thats all you heard
In the photograph
From a night of darkness
But her name is glued
to your lips
Like I am
To my keyboard
As my fingers
Linger over the send button
To tell you
My salted-caramel lips
And your fruit scented t-shirt
Are the only 2
Objects in the room
When you lean into my side
With my hand around
Your waist
My ear on
your beating heart
Her heart
In your batting eyes
Pulling you closer
Closer still
When the first line of the
Memories you had
Plays
I'm suddenly gone
And she's on your mind
And I'm back to square zero
The same place I've never left
The same place I'll always be
But I ask you if you're fine
I ask you to be honest
And you answer the same
As if you'd asked me
I'm fine
