Poetry: Obsession

by Aaron Nelson

Created on: June 16, 2008

You and Me.

The rain hits the window.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time when it rained, just you and me.

My clothes are piling in the corner.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time when you helped with my laundry, just you and me.

Time to eat, I think I'll fire up the grill.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time when I cooked dinner, just you and me.

There's a cold chill running through my bedroom window by the bed.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time when it was cold and we held each other, just you and me.

My bills need paid badly!
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time at the post office, just you and me.

I should get a haircut today.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time you laughed when it got cut wrong, just you and me.

Got lost coming home from a friends last night.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time we had to get a map in a strange part of town, just you and me.

Wish I had enough money to see a movie.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time you paid my way because I was broke, just you and me.

I guess I could just go walk the dog.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time we took an afternoon walk, just you and me.

Maybe, I will meet a new girl today.
I think of you and the time we spent.
That one time when we met and you laughed at my bad haircut.
I was walking my dog so we walked together.
Then, I took you to the post office because, your car was broke.
I talked about that new movie house I heard of across town.
We barely found the cinema and had to stop for directions after the show.
When we got back to my place I cooked us dinner.
One thing led to another and you stayed the night.
It was a cold and rainy evening.
But, you woke up early and mad.
The pile of clothes in the corner of the room stank,
it bothered you.
I put them in the washer and then you left.
That one time, it was only one time, just you and me.
