Part 4

The day you told me you loved me

I felt cold

- You felt cold

- We were cold

- The night was cold

We sat in the back of your truck under the stars bundled up hugging each other

And I was speechless

I mean, had I heard you wrong?

Were you on the phone?

I looked you in the eye and mumbled something like:

"yeah . . ."

It was the only time you said you loved me

But you didn't love me. 

You loved the thought of me

The thought of my legs spreading for you

Blooming open and praising the sun like a springtime marigold
