come true


i’ll accept the invitation
                  i just don’t know what it means
forget all of the stories
                  that i had for you   last week
                          
          i will stay     and listen closely
when your breath starts   getting deep
  
you see   i made    myself a promise
                                                 one that i intend     to keep

if you put your arms
                  all the way around me
                      then you can tell me “it’s alright”

                           you said “homicide,
                                                it does make you smarter,
                                                i’m making dinner, come by                                                          tonight.”

i hear the breath          that rushes out of        
         your mouth when       you say   “hi”
        see the smile there is no doubt of
and never    say “good-bye”



i’ll say “good luck”
“see you later”
and you say
“call me, if you’re awake”
i say
“i’ll see you in the morning,
           i don’t    
no i don’t believe in fate”


so
                           i make the left onto fairfield
                           and then take orchard   back toward main
                           and i will keep
                           both of my eyes   peeled   to see
                           you walking
                                                      in the rain

still, i’ve never    been as lonely
as i was      sitting           next to you
wishing you        were my one and only   
wishing you would                 
you would make    it
come true
