Agonotheta

"Oh, speak again, bright angel,"¹ I thought as I introduced myself to you, even though "love was the furthest thing from my mind.² Before this feminine landscape I feel like a green branch in a fire,³ because when you smiled, the spell was cast.⁴

We talked for almost an hour cause you're cool like that⁵ and you realized that everybody knows I got more bounce to the ounce.⁶ But the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.⁷

I promised myself if I ever got another chance, I'd still ask her⁸ for her number. Like you, I wondered when can I see you again? When can my heart beat again? When can I breathe once again?⁹ I didn't want to, but I tried to put you out of my mind. Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.¹⁰

Until one day, after hope had long been abandoned and I had accepted that the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched¹¹ there you were laughing with your pretty mouth.¹² I told myself small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises¹³ and asked for your number.

We made plans even though you live too far away,¹⁴ and I had to drive far away in the sunshine where I can look up and see your beauty.¹⁵ That night in the car, I told you that I believe this is slavery, not to speak one's thought¹⁶ and told you you're such a strange girl¹⁷ but every time I'm with you, I never wanted it to come to an end.¹⁸

I don't want to be your regret, I'd rather be your cocoon¹⁹ and that's why we must take it nice and slow²⁰ even though you're feelin' my style and feelin' my flow.²¹ You said this was all you have and it's all I need. But now we only have confused hearts.²² I've made mistakes in my past but no man is rich enough to buy back his past.²³ I know I'm not perfect, but you come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.²⁴ Don't be afraid to be yourself, because things aren't the way they are, they're the way you are.²⁵ Always let me know what you are thinking, as our thoughts are shadows of our feelings.²⁶ Day by day²⁷ I'm missing your laugh²⁸with every thought and every breath.²⁹ People may talk, but I don't care what they say about us anyway, I don't care bout that.³⁰ I know it's only been a month, but I can't believe what you've done to me.³¹

So does he ever get the girl?³²

Well, this is the end. At this point, you are probably sick with this straight gangsta mack.³³ I, honestly, don't know why I tried this because, if something is too hard to do, then it's not worth doing.³⁴ But then again, a woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!³⁵
