oh, to be older and in love
with the way you smile at me
and I'll know how much it means that you can smile
because something similar happened to me
but I dug you out
and you,
eventually,
cooperated

oh, how wonderful a feeling I'll remember that was

and now, as you try to refuse to sleep
in favor of doing your paperwork
I'll tenderly trail my lips along your neck until you're forced to resign

either that,
or I'll help you with the papers.

it's a big case tomorrow,
after all—
wouldn't wanna catch us unaware.
