London





London


You don't
Go
To meet girls
For their
Accents
In London


You
Go
To quit
Habits
Stories
Theme
Songs


American
Girls
Girls
in
General


Fashion
Pub crawls
Big Ben
Carousels
History


Making me
Feel old
Each morning


But crutching
On jet lag
Instead
Of gin and
tonics


Conversion
Rates
and Metric
Systems


Return
Trips
Pockets
Empty
And transatlantic
Flights


Just
Loves forgotten
Habits broken
dropped
In the ocean


You don't
Go
To meet girls
For their
Accents
In London

Boy Friends Girl Friends

Boy Friends Girl Friends


Bar drinks

First 

Rounds

Second 

Details


And last 

Calls

At life

Being

Boy friends 

Girl friends


Decisions

To late

To go back

On

Yet Changes

Of heart 


Wine guzzled

And shots

With out

Chasers

Chasing

Lost

Time 

Adventures

All the

While

Sitting

Still


Can't think

For her

She 

Still

Sits 

On my

Mind

In my

Heart


Late 

Nights

Early

Mornings

Opposite sexes

Shared beds

Shared dreams

Across 

Opposite pillows

Eyes wide shut


But

Shared covers

Legs

Tangled

And hearts crushed


Boy friends

Girl friends

Or

Just friends

High Heels


High Heels

Black
Or red
High heels
Ones that
I should but
Can't
Remember

Standing
Too tall
In stature
Or 
Too short
In thoughts

For poses 
Postures
And 
Facades
She'll 
Never understand

Higher
Standards
Living
Expenses

Rigid
Ideas
Commandments
To live by

Sworn off
Her
Like
Cigarettes 
Drinking
Vices
All mine

Lent
Is easier
Than
She 
Is
To forgive
Give up
Or
Just forget
