Puppy Dog

On a beach in the southern sun

Feet stop and my mind just runs

Isn’t it time to worry now

Cool room with an ocean view

Why am I trying to find a “you”

Something for me to write about?

Is it a frenzy or is it a feeling

Is this something really

Not yet

I get so excitable

I know

I should let go of it

Lost things are findable

I know

I should let go but I can’t yet

Ex called me a puppy dog

I like kissing and taking walks

Isn’t it such a world around

But I find since I’m on my own

This dog feels a lot more grown

Draining the color from the clouds

Is it a frenzy or is it a feeling

Is this something really

Not yet

I get so excitable

I know

I should let go of it

Lost things are findable

I know

I should let go but I can’t yet

The size of your heart

Your eyes in the dark

And every time I caught you looking at me

As we stood on that hill

So hard to keep still

We both blamed the slope when we would bump each other

And I’m trying not

To keep getting got

It may be my blood

Such a storyteller

But this time around

I’m slowing it down

‘cause I see myself

Ex called me a puppy dog

I like kissing and taking walks

Isn’t it such a world around?
