All in All by Elizabeth SeagoMy only request is that
You come alone tonight, darling.
Leave all your preludes and mental narration in your car.
As you smoke that cigarette on the ride,
Exhale your reservations in every puff.
Please, don't wear that jacket you've grown
So fond of,
Laced with second guesses and hesitations.
Set it down at the door, love.
You won't be needing that warmth here.
No, you won't be needing that warmth here.
Welcome to a place where the sun always shines
And the ocean throws a magic gleaming twinkle in your eye.
Leave all your thoughts of love in the sand when you leave.
They'll grate the beach tomorrow,
It will be our legacy.
They all think we're crazy,
We've got our own rendition of love.
We don't adhere to idealistic ideals
And you just hold me here because
It feels right on a warm night and
What are best friends for,
If you can't hold them close and feel a bit more? 08/25/2008 Author's Note: 1.21 Giggawatts? Sorry for the tirade.
