While In Pink

I saw her for the first time in pink,
the Playboy bunny on her chest, making it hard to look away,
Her low cut jeans fit her perfectly
But her eyes, filled to the brim with teardrops
All just waiting for her to exhale so they may spill

I wanted to hold her close and tell her things would be fine
But even I wasn't sure...

She sat Indian style, staring longingly at the floor
My eyes scoured the surface areas of her body hoping
That maybe I could see a glimmer of love
Love that she had never shown before in her life
But now, she with her boyfriend
And me, alone...as usual

Things may change, but at least I stay consistent
I tell myself these things to ease the pangs of frustration

I am the psychotic lover
They tell me these things trying to sound concerned
Then run away

The hug goodbye was more of a touching of souls
But with him so close by, I was afraid of what I showed
My face remained blank, like a game of poker
We said our goodbyes and I haven't seen her since

But luckily, I had my fingers crossed...
So our time will come again...
