Love Is A Dress That You Made

Some days you just can't win for losin'

Two months before leaving for the wedding I had a date who might have been something more.

One month before leaving for the wedding I had a date who was just a friend.

Three weeks before leaving for the wedding I had an date with someone I might ask, till it turned out she was young, and practically begging for trouble.

Two weeks before leaving for the wedding I had someone I thought might be interesting to try to get to know well enough to ask, until I noticed the wedding ring.

Thirteen days before leaving for the wedding and I've got the sad songs playing and I'm staring up at a darkened ceiling trying to find the spot in the pattern where it can break.

and it's going to be a awesome time

and I'm going to be the "crazy single friend" again.

and that's OK.

What is It About Smell?

You left the smell of you behind on my shoulder, just where your head pressed when we hugged goodbye. I looked forward, all the way home, each time I turned my head to the right, to breathing you in.
