'i'll take some Jack and Coke, thanks'

'anything else?' asked the bartender

'warm the plate, if you'll be so kind'

unsurprisingly the jape ranged hollow

averting my gaze there she was for me

i swear you, my eyes so close to hers

truly swear, we were so close to tears

there was some red-light district vibe

tearing through our tees and skewing us

i truly believed i could love her forever

but i guess we had to screw the feeling

the drink came aloft and we came to mine

but i didn't come, to my own frustrating awe

turns out they had some five grams laying

to what she teased me 'you're quite a lover'

to what i mused 'and what are you quite?'
