myopically

it was familiar to me
the smoke too thick to breath
the tile floor glistened
i slowly stirred my drink
and when you started to sing
you spoke with broken speech
that i could not understand
and then you grabbed me tightly

i won't let go i won't let go
even you if you say so no
i've tried and tried with no results
i won't let go i won't let go

he then played every song from 1993
the crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully
your eyelashes tickled my neck
with every nervous blink
and it was perfect
until the telephone started
ringing
rigning
ringing
off.
