You tell me you like those like me too,
\u201cIf you get what I mean\u201d with a wink.
I\u2019ve spent my life training for this
For the day I became a fetish object
To stared at beneath a clean pane of glass.
A walking eroticism in plain view.
You like it, you like it too, don\u2019t you?
I understand the difference between me and you.
You stand on the other side of my view
Wondering what you can convince me to do.
I should leave, really, you are a stranger,
But I remain frozen, like a kid in danger.
You touch my leg and squeeze my thigh
Showing me the weed, you use to get high.
You tell me you\u2019d give me some too
And meet your girlfriend if I go with you
You tell me she would agree to.
I laugh, decline, wait my train to arrive.
You lean in to tell me you\u2019ll be waiting
And give me one unprovoked kiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
