Tangled Up

You walk into the shower and close the door
Letting out all the man that you've become
And I lay in my bed listening unlike before
to the water splashing to come.
Your body seems much firmer now,
your lips so soft and inviting
The calls and proposals I once left ignored
are beginning to get life exciting
And why so suddenly does it all seem so?
Is it the fire ignited in you to reinvent your passions?
Or maybe I simply do not know...
can only guess the persistent, loving gaze has toppled my wallish fashions
Unwavering
has gently urged me to listen with different ears and look with open eyes
these days
I see the man that's always been inside
And I take back everything I've ever said
and how I tied rocks to your name
for it was a little girl who would not forget a little boy in her head
and lost a love in vain
Now, I listen to the water and you
not so far away
inspiring dangerous tossing of cautions to the wind
imagining the delicious depths of where you can play
all the while questioning the friends
that I hope we stay.
