We Both Know

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

It's been a month since I last heard from you;

I didn't respond because I moved on

but this time I was the one to say hi.

 

You always call me beautiful and sexy

and right now, I need to hear it again. 

 

I'm headed your way soon without my husband

and I have the brilliant idea to tell you

that I want to see you again.

 

And you love to hear it 

and here comes the dirty talk

(only type of conversation 

we were ever good at).

 

I just want to see

your bright blue eyes

and that devilish grin

(though we both know that's a lie).

 

I know I shouldn't;

I know you will walk over and try to kiss me 

and then we both know what comes next.

 

Then luckily 

(and not because I came to my senses),

all of our plans fall through 

and I never get to see you.

 

But still that desire lingers,

and a dozen pictures and videos later,

I realize how destructive I'm being. 

 

I don't want this;

I don't want you.

I'm just horny as hell 

and you're playing along. 

 

I know what to say to get you turned on

(call it a talent)

and man, it feels good to know

I can make you hard with just my words

and some flashbacks from years ago. 

 

Well, we had our fun,

but now it's time to say goodbye

(though we both know that's a lie).
