Sara(h) from (Still) Eighteen by Astro Alloy

i'm surprised that after all this time
it would still feel special you are mine
stuck in school with plans made to escape
skipping seventh period to sneak out the gate

you told your dad you stayed with friends
i told my mom some other lie
and when i stare at you tonight
your naked body in the light
you'll laugh at me, and i'll concede...

i'm braver in my thoughts than in my heart
staring at your body as a work of art
i won't dare to ask what's there for you
i'm not sure what happens next but i'll assume

oh, you can see something in me
uniquely me, nobody else
we brush our teeth as vinyl plays
our favorite album, Icky Thump
before we sleep you lean on me
ask "is this love?"

i don't love you despite your flaws
i love you for all you are
