When my love complained, every word
A breath on my last dandelion
And so lovers will leave and their tears
Souvenirs for the very first time

I searched the world reluctant
To find a lover enthusiastic
Speak to me barely if at all

When i was a boy, funny things
Water wings kept you confident
A belly of wine, similar
To keep yourself indifferent

And i scraped the bargain basement
Bought a lover less than fantastic
Spoke to me barely if at all

Taste perfume that burns my throat
And i am free of envelope
Squeeze an instant out of me

And she placed a hand between our lips
How could anything be so precious
She kissed me barely if at all

And she, with a hand between our lips
Gave me what we now have in common
She left me barely if at all
