A/N: Just fer fun, folksies.

Sit by the road (I’ll have your smile)

Stop your stares and talk awhile

Perhaps you’ll tell me what you mean

By evidence of things not seen

And sudden smirks, those flirting pokes

Laughing at pathetic jokes

Your words and actions don’t agree

The grin that I can never see

Turns toward the sky at my expense

Higher up with each offense

And arms like water wrap around

Deadly strong and safely sound

When seconds prior, a playful punch

Turned tears to gold and emptied lunch

But taunting friends was yesterday

Our minds have gone another way

Down secret roads of red and blue

With starry nights and roses too

Confounding phrases, strange and sweet

A mystery like green school meat

Attack my chest with throbbing care

And make me wish that you weren’t there

To see the redness in my cheeks

Take residence for several weeks

As you look down and chuckle low

Afraid of what I think you know

Because wanting changes everything

I didn’t know that when I sing

All my words string out for you

Old and borrowed, blue and new

So speak to me with passion’s mouth

Take my hand and wander south

Through make-believe, the land Pretend,

And sort through all the signs we send

Until the postman, sick of speech

Beside the girl just out of reach

Says, “Baby, I was born for this”

And leans in for a single kiss
