Tone

Benefit skewed by the belief
My questionable nature quietened her to a pause.
Not sure how to take me she smiles and carries on
'We can't all find someone to love' she states with a hint of regret.
Before I could reply she spits out 'I know, we have to love ourself first' with what I could only interpret as distain but was not so sure I could be sure about this girl anymore.
People with awareness of their own folly always have both fascinated and eluded me.
'We can't all love Jesus' I said
To which she directly responded
'We can't all be smart', with a tone of genius I would've never had expected.
I laughed and i told her i was quoting Todd Mckenzie with;
'The only advantage of being smart is that you can act dumb'
She chuckled, 'I wish I could get to know you better but concerned you'd change me more than I would you...'
'I'm not so sure about that.' I replied.
Sarcastically and with her hands in the air 'please do change me!'
'I already have' I bow like a magician would and vanish.

An hour later she grabs me at the bar, kisses me on the lips and gently touches my face, her palm moving down my beard then lifting to leave just the delicate touch of her fingers...
'Now I've changed you'

Object

Come on girl, show me an object
But don't tell me it's beauty
This is the season for two
And I'm hurting just like you
... So please make me smile
As its always the other way around
And now I'm down
(You know I'm down)
