You should know a few things more about me, if we are to proceed from here. I am a simple soul - conflict seems to steer clear of my path. I drink sweet bourbon because it soothes my mind. I listen to Johnny Cash and feel he is a lone prophet, in a land of screeching Gods and furious Demons. Never once did a 'Boy Named Sue' do me wrong. I ride a bike 'cuz driving a car feels way too much like gambling, these days. Everyone is going everywhere, and I prefer to stand still in the road and watch 'em all. I wear boots to work, get my hands rough from a days time under the sun, and feel proud at my dusk. I am not much for romance, but I will kiss you until blood has filled in the lips I have spent hours yearning to devour. I know you need a soft touch - I am here to comfort. I just want to hear the heat in your voice, not your opinions. After my day is done, I want to walk through that very door and see you smiling me down. Smile my head all the way down the hall until we reach the shower. Wash my aches, scrub my sins, and make the rest of here just go away. If you think you can learn to love these things, we can start tomorrow. If you don't think you are up for the job, then we can part tomorrow. |
