[Library] Just the Way It Be

by Nikki Rice

Somehow,
we always somehow
end up with my arm around you
and your arm around me,
breathing through
the other's mouth as we fall asleep.

Sometimes,
sometimes we kiss.
Sometimes,
sometimes we take it a little further.
But never, never
do we take it all the way.

Somehow,
we always somehow
leave the bar at the same time
decide to share a ride
even though you
live in another city far away.

Somehow,
we always somehow
find ourselves sharing
a little too much truth in flirtations
and you told me
you can't fuck the ones you love.

Sometimes,
sometimes we kiss.
Sometimes,
sometimes we take it a little further.
But never, never
do we take it all the way.

I'm not looking for any progress.
I like things how they are.
Sometimes, somehow,
sex doesn't mean a thing.

Well, we always hurt the ones we love the most, so that does make sense. Progression and Regression can sometimes be very confusing... So goes life. Anyway, excellent work. ;)
