Fruedian Slip

He said “my”
Just tossed it casually into his sentence
He said “my”
Like mine and all that could have been implied
Like there's a “we”
A you and me
With nothing in between
And I'm wondering
Did he mean it?
Did you mean it?
I think it's
A Freudian slip
Slip up I'm
Reading too much into
I think you don't know
What you may be getting into
I'm too
Hopeful for a me and you
A we
A “my”
To be
A “yours”
I think
I'll just wait for another
Freudian slip
Slip up
I can't ignore
