you

across the table

quiet, somber

"I need you"

spoken with wonder and a

carefully averted gaze

you pretend to be so

serious

and so

morbid

and so-

no

you're not.

if I were to say

it's not need, but

want

would you keep

sipping that

God damn

over-priced

wine

or

would you

stop to think, and say

"yes"

or maybe

"no"

and that

could be

that?

but you

are too simple for such

complex things

as that

which is why I

truly need

want

must have

will have

you

you

so sort of

so kind of

perfect

you're going to want

more than a sip

later

tonight
