Damn it, caught me looking once again
Instead of turning away, you hold my gaze
Speechless, my mouth refuses to move
To tell you how I truly feel
Racing heart, sweaty palms, nervous biting of my lips
Ache, ache, how my soul burns and aches
Can’t think of nothing else but your
Touch, your kisses, so tantalizing I can almost taste them
Imagining your arms wrapping me in embrace
Only, I stand staring at you in silence, wondering
Not knowing if you feel the same for me

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.
