my hands are alone
waiting – wanting
to feel again

these Friday nights
are empty
without someone

that girl again
will this time be
something new?

we meet
for the first time
once again

°

acting careful
comes off bad
who is the real me?

rush of feelings
I tell her
my middle name

this class time
a beautiful girl
in my mind

closed eyes
silence
first kiss

°

our town
exhausted
we take off

driving her car
listening
to her songs

lying around
my camera
doing close ups

concrete jungle
newsstand
her wedding mag

°

we find a house
to hold our things
our love
