2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 2′ 1′ 1′
Now and then she re-reads the man-u-script

1′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 1′
of the en-tire tor-rid af-fair.

2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′
They com-pared their li-cens-es.

3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 1′
He said, “I’m not a do-nor,

2′ 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 2′ 3′ 1′
but I’d give you my heart if you need-ed it.”

5 2′ 5 5 5 5
She rolled her eyes and said,

4 4 3 3 3 3
you’re a pro-fes-sion-al.”

1′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 1′ 1′
He said, “No, just a good Sa-mar-i-tan.”

1′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′
He said that if the sex was half as good

1′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 2′
as the con-ver-sa-tion was,

2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 1′ 1′
soon they’d be push-ing stroll-ers.

1′ 4′ 3’ 1′ 2′ 1′
But soon it was o-ver.

5 5 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 2′ 1′
In the age of him, she wished she was thir-ty

5 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 1′
and made cof-fee ev-‘ry morn-ing in a French press.

2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′
Af-ter-wards, she on-ly ate kids’ ce-re-al

1′ 2′ 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 3′ 1′
and could-n’t sleep un-less it was in her moth-er’s bed.

2′ 5 5 5 5 4 4 3 3 3
Then she dat-ed boys who were her own age,

1′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 1′ 1′
with dart boards on the backs of their doors.

1′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′
She thought a-bout how he said,

2′ 3′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 2′
since she was so wise be-yond her years,

2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 1′ 1′
ev-‘ry-thing had been a-bove board.

4′ 3′ 2’ 1′
She was-n’t sure.

5 3′ 2′ 3’ 3′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′
And the years passed, like scenes of a show.

1′ 6 2′ 3’ 1′ 3′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′
The pro-fes-sor said to write what you know.

1′ 3′ 2′ 3’ 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ (2’7) 1′ 7 (641)
Look-ing back-wards might be the on-ly way to move forward.

5 3′ 2′ 3’ 3′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′
Then the ac-tors were hit-ting their marks,

1′ 3′ 2′ 3’ 5 3′ 2′ 1′ 3′ 2′
and the slow dance was a-light with the sparks.

1′ 1′ 2′ 3’ 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ (2’7) 1′ 7 (641)
And the tears fell in syn-chro-nic-i-ty with the score.

5 3′ (2’7) 5 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ (2’7) 1′ 7 (641)
And at last, she knew what the ag-o-ny had been for.

1′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 2′ 1′ 1′
The on-ly thing that’s left is the man-u-script,

5 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 3′
one last sou-ve-nir from my trip to your shores.

2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 3′ 2′ 2′ 1′ 1′
Now and then, I re-read the man-u-script,

5 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 1′
but the sto-ry is-n’t mine an-y-more.
