You, name on the list
An entry among many
I'll be taking the risk
Of catching you surly

Do you love where you live?
Does your desk see a window?
Does every Friday bestow
Casual shirts, ties festive?

Did you imagine, years ago
Your dreams light, brain heavy
A face fresher, a sleek torso
Others, not you, were phoney

I tick you off, I made
My attempt to reach you
On that list you fade
Metaphorically

Whenever I'm Alone With You

Leaving my parents' house early
To avoid awkward conversation
I will be older, more successful
I will move to a central location

Were you dropping hints to me
When we laid there together
Were you expecting something
From me, to take us further

Will you still need me
When you are more fulfilled
Will you still think of me
When you're closer to your goals

I smelled your scent on my T-shirt
I may have been wrong
To be satisfied
