Paper Towels and Paper Plates

I look directly at you…
The room becomes warm
I feel my face flush
Sweat drips from my every pore…

The sun shines through the window,
Just like I had dreamed it years before

Nothing has changed
I still love you the same
Yet everything has its end

I keep my distance
I cannot be your girl anymore
Bad habits die in slow aching breaths

I see all the things in you
That we once were
But will never be again
Love only lets us through the door one ticket at a time
Yet will never let us forget what we came to see
