false

You’re not the one I wanted
No,
But you’ll do for now.

Though I don’t really want you
No...
But you’re kind
And you smile
And you play the gentlemen
And I like that.

Though you’re not all that smart
No...
But you’re nice
And your kisses are sweet
And you hold me
And I like that.

So....
I don’t care so much that
You’re not the one I dream about

I drown my sorrows in the definition of your arms
And the pull of your shoulders
And the heat of your breath
And I like it.

The intoxication of your sensations
Making my sleep dark and heavy.
Dark sleep. Quiet.
Dreamless.
And I like it.

Slumber ship sailing on waves of forgotten thoughts
Where I don’t dream of how
You’re not the one I wanted.
