we could've been everything....

i pretended to be asleep when you came back
i was busy crying
i was supposed to be home
i spent the night
after we fucked
you went out for milk
you said i knew more than i showed
i thought you were mean and wicked
but somehow we connected
i knew you loved me when you picked me up on the selophane sidewalk
you told me about your little sister
and for once i was tripping on my words
oh and how i always knew what to say
when you untied my dress
i crossed my legs like a flight attendant
and i asked you to buy me some chocolate bars
he said he longed for me all the time
his skin was like the pages of a romance novel
we were everywhere at the same time
it was nothing
no it was everything
my eyes still cry sometimes
