Your Just My Friend

"You want to go to the movies?"
"I have no money."
"We could sneak in..."
"You can try, but I'm gunning."
"How about the arcade?"
"I have two quarters, we could play one game."
"One game? No way! Its two quarters for one play."

"How about we walk around?"
"Walk around? To much sound, to much hustle, don't like crowds."
"Walk alone? I know a park, nobody goes there, it gets pretty dark."
"Is there swings?"
"Of coarse there's swings!"
"O.k we can go."
"Come on! You're slow!"

We run like hounds and sound out a breath
we get there in almost a couple of steps.
You sit next to me, together we swing.
You pull up close, i gather instincts.
You touch my nose, I push your chest.

"Your just my friend."
"I know just a test..."
