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
