now is when courage comes

i remember you in the sun
your skin pale in the light
so pale against your shirt - dark red, i recall
i had to look away quickly
concentrate on saying hello to her
to avoid staring at you

and i remember you as the stage light washed over us
a look of absolute rapture on your face as you yelled out 'you're beautiful' and she heard you
and i stood there kissing lo
it felt so right
but so wrong at the same time
because i wanted to be kissing you.

at pizza
after the show
i marveled again at how beautiful you were

then when kim asked if i wanted to spend the night
i said yes
because i hoped you'd be there.
i didn't want this to be goodbye.

and the whole time it was lo and me
me and lo
as i wished i could catch your attention
because you were the one i wanted.
