A crush lasts 4 months but I only have one day
In the time that it takes to kill a dream, you’ve taken me…
And you can lie to me about the woman that you loved from San Diego
When you’ve never ventured farther from Galway
Than Spain
In the time that it takes to cause a riot, you’ve taken me…
Since that is what is required to keep you grinning
When you’re smiling, otherwise invisible, a background character at best
I suppose that you like that because your super power is
Just how close to your ears the edges of your lips can get
In the time that it takes to freshen lipstick, you’ve taken me…
Seeing your boyish face squeezes all of the air out of the room and I forget what you do and that I don’t even know you and you’re welcome to lie to me again and again, about who you used to love and where you’ve been
Since love is 4 months and one day away…
Let us begin…
