People Watching

I want to sit on a park bench with you


Watch the birds and people watch


Make up stories

Where they’re coming from and going to


Take turns first me and then you


In the morning remind me to wear sunscreen and a jacket


Fix my coller


Brush the dust off my shoulders as I leave


Want me at my best and love me at my worst


And in the evening notice my little scrapes and bruises


As you trace my outlines with your finger tips


Find my scars and make up stories about where they came from


Then make believe where were going and make me believe it’s true


One day I want to sit on a park bench with you
