Mint

In Ohio,
The sky is green when it rains.
It's a monsoon downpour,
but I'm still glad that we came.
Because all those things that I could never understand,
you explain to me as you hold my hand,
gently,
Like if I were a child,
Like if I were your girl,
Like if I used to matter to your world.
The sky is still green,
Your car is grey,
You let me touch your beard (briefly)...
But now I have to drive away.
I ride 6 long hours
listening to the music you gave me,
remembering, always remembering,
the promises your eyes made me.
And all it would take
Is a kiss
And all it would take
Is some words.
But do not tell me what I should not hear,
and do not hold my lips to yours,
Because I trust you too much for you to lie to me.
