So wonderful to be single until you walk into the room

Then I start thinking about

Waking up in the morning next to you Emilio

Yawning

Exhausted from watching you sleep

We stayed up so late last night, Emilio

Playing Uno and taking shots of Jack

Like neither one of us knew

We were nearly 80 years old

If you added our ages up

And it would wear on our souls and our skins if we didn’t quit

And you never stop unless I stop Emilio

Everything about you

Makes me think too much

I never stop baby, never,

Thinking about tomorrow

Our tomorrow

and I constantly revisit and regurgitate and reflect and reimagine

Each second that I was ever in your presence

During every board meeting and every shower

I’m telling you jokes in my mind that somehow

You understand, Emilio

From my facial expression

In a picture on my phone

You know how I feel

Even when I don’t know

And I don’t like that

And I love that

Simultaneously

And losing you is not an option

So I think of tattooing your name on my thigh

Or buying myself a ring

And saying it’s from you like a psycho would, Emilio

To remind myself when I get lonely

And when I realize that you are far away

And when I realize that you have a girlfriend now

And when I realize that I forsee she is not right for you

And when I realize that you don’t play Uno

And you are never in my bed when I wake up, Emilio

You wake on the other side of the Colorado River

You work on the other side of the Mississippi

You dined, single once, like me, Emilio and

That distance doesn’t matter in the grand scheme

You are the grand scheme

You are the grand

You are the

You are

You

And I am Olivia Newton

Hopelessly Devoted

To the you I imagine, Emilio

When I wake up in the morning

Remembering that I am single

Single

Lonely in the Mojave

Lonely on the freeway

Lonely without you, Emilio

Yawning

Wishing you would simply, simply, simply, simply, simply- Appear.

Love me.

Wake me up, Emilio

Walk into the room.
