\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Getting Together<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If, and when, you come around.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Use the key hidden on the ground.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s in the back, behind the trash.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

In a cracked planter, is my stash.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Let yourself in, I\u2019ll be there soon.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m fishing down at Blue Lagoon.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If you come, I \u00a0know you want help.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been dumped by another whelp.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I am always waiting for you.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I am pretty sure you know that too.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Sure, I date, and run around.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just like you, or so I\u2019ve found.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Yet, I am always available.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

When it comes to you, I can\u2019t say no.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We both thought we needed time.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Time to \u2018sow your oats,\u2019 and mine.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But, the pattern never changes.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You can never remain his.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Whoever it is you are dating.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He is not someone for mating.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You come running back to me.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To be comforted and not lonely.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I often feel the same way too.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

When my affairs seem to fall through.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Its been long enough to see the light.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We belong with one another, all right.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Time to consider our relationship.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It needs to become a major trip.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start being true to one another.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s both admit there is no other.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We have missed out on so much.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Because we didn\u2019t want to rush.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We know we truly love one another.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Time to stop treating me like a brother.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
