"i'll hang around as long as you will let me, and i never minded standing in the rain,
but you dont have to call me darling, darling, you never even called my by my name...."
-David Allen Coe

darling, it's been so long since i have seen you.
i have missed you, and your taste.
it always made me feel better.
been a while since i have called on you,
and now i am glad you have obliged me.
thank you for always being there for me.

i was scared when i called you,
thanks for answering.
i am not really sure what i was afraid of
though.
perhaps it was the pounding on the door
the smiles that wont stop coming my way.
perhaps it's uncle sam who stalks me,
or the thought that i still haven't changed.
i guess you knew that already
guess i really couldnt hide it.

i told myself things were different,
that i didnt need you anymore.
i heard that addicts always say
they could stop anytime.

i wanted to cry today
you held me back.
made me feel neutral
made me sit with my mouth wide open,
i couldnt understand what others were saying to me
you set your spell upon me.

ahh, but it isnt you that i really love.
i call when i am thinking of him,
when the lonliness becomes overwhelming.
he is the prize in the distance,
all i need is time.
time and money,
money and zeal,
zeal and patience,
patience and a smile,
then i wont need you
anymore.

he loves me more than you love to break me
but he doesnt show it
like you do.
the secrets of his heart are hidden
you wear your love on your sleeve
yeah, and you and your heart remind me
of the ugly color purple.
i have always loved a chase,
never knowing if i will win.
Damn you and your clues
you never let me figure it out
for myself.
You let me win all the time,
and my head kept getting bigger.

he knocked me off my box
With a swift look of disgust.
i guess he caught me off guard
guess i wasnt expecting
beligerant intellect
His hose of confidence
wet it, nice and slickery
the fall was hard,
and after the concussion,
i fell in love.

you, you are a yes-man
you give me what i want.
i tire of you easily
longing for intellect
honesty
confusion
challenge
and mystery

So to the one i love:
i need you.
i am fading fast without you
things around me keep spinning
i'm afraid i'm loosing sight of you.
he likes to tempt me,
likes to keep me quiet,
likes to keep me wanting him,
so that i cannot think of you.

wait for me
im running through water to get to you
the pressure is just too much
and i'm afraid i cant swim.
my legs, they are getting weak.
i can see you waiting, towel in hand,
but it doesn't seem i'll make it.
cant you hear me calling for you?
will you come to save me?
am i too far gone for you?

say it isnt so...
