Real Smiles

Let me reach into your chest and rip your heart out then sew it back into place, tricking you into thinking I was there to fix it all along.  Let's walk slower than normal so the night feels longer, let's hold hands and pretend nothing else matters.  Let go of whatever holds you back, the shaking palms that cup the small of my back when we dance.  Let's play pretend for a while, get lost in a new city, rent a car and drive to Canada just to spend some time alone.  Let me show you exactly what you've been missing out on.  Let's be free.  Let me pick sunflowers and put them on your dashboard, drying in the summer heat on our way to the lake.  Let's do things that we'll be able to laugh about months from now, we won't have to stop till one of us says so.  Let me be the one to wake you up and call you names that you always thought you hated till you heard them come from me.  Let's do all of these things.
