When you said her You meant her When you say what you're doing tonight You mean what do you plan on wearing When you said it's warm for February you Meant leave the bulky clothes at home When you said hi You meant teeth You meant dark you meant dark like a Night she will not remember your mint a Rick Ross cocktail you meant the third Drink is the new consent she wanted to Stay at the party she wanted to be close To her friends the more her words Slurred the less value they had to you And her dress felt as pretty as it Looked when you said you couldn't help Yourself you meant pinning down the cute Girls how we're taught to tell a crush We like them when you said you liked her You meant thanks for not fighting me he Meant thanks for silence you meant the American dream says you can have Anything you want you meant famine is a Plague and you will eat your weight and Rejection when you said she never Actually told you no You meant you didn't think it was Important to ask I mean what would you have done She didn't tell you yes

Hey... I'm Jasper!
