And it starts,

              
 sometime arou

   
nd midnight.
            
Or at least th

              
at’s when you 

         
lose yourself
              
for a minute o

  
r two.
            
As you stand, 

          
under the bar 

lights.
        
And the band p

lays some song
             
about forgetti

              
ng yourself fo

    
r a while.
            
And the piano’

              
s this melanch

             
oly soundtrack

        
 to her smile.
         
And that white

 dress she’s w

earing
             
you haven’t se

             
en her for a w

*
hile.


But you know, that she’s watching.
She’s laughing, she’s turning.
She’s holding her tonic like a cross.
The room’s suddenly spinning.
She walks up and asks how you are.
So you can smell her perfume.
You can see her lying naked in your arms.


And so there’s a change, in your emotions.
And all these memories come rushing
like feral waves to your mind.
Of the curl of your bodies,
like two perfect circles entwined.
And you feel hopeless and homeless
and lost in the haze of the wine.


Then she leaves, with someone you don’t know.
But she makes sure you saw her.
She looks right at you and bolts.
As she walks out the door,
your blood boiling
your stomach in ropes.
Oh and when your friends say,
“What is it? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”


Then you walk, under the streetlights.
And you’re too drunk to notice,
that everyone is staring at you.
You just don’t care what you look like,
the world is falling around you.


    
You just have 

to see her.
    
You just have 

to see her.
    
You just have 

to see her.
    
You just have 

to see her.
    
You just have 

to see her.
             
You know that 

              
she’ll break y

      
ou in two.
