I can’t distinguish what I like best from this constellation of events
Star to star, bar to bar, three diamonds are on the door
Your can and my cup are first to touch
occasionally our legs and hands touch
Until we lean in, decided to close out,
you walk me home, do I invite you up?
I can’t distinguish what I like best the nervous first times or what might come next. I
hope my head will agree with the heart that’s on my sleeve.
We talk on the phone now and you tell me about your day
We hold hands in the street now, you kiss me on the subway
We stay up all night now, two beers and an ash tray
Constantly surprised how you say things I thought only I thought
It feels so fragile and delicate so I’ll be careful with all of it.
Your can and my cup were first to touch along the way things started to change
This petty pace from day to day has turned into a race
The finish line my place.
