You come in late. No light. I know it's you. Don't ask me how. I know your hands. I know your mouth. (I know your mouth...) The way you stop before you touch me. I know your breathing. (I know your breathing...) I know when you're awake. I know when you're watching me though I can't see you. I know all that not your face. What knew you before I did? (What knew you before I did?) Something in me got there first. (got there first...) You come close. I let you. You leave. I wait. Same room. Same dark. Same skin. Something in me gets there first. (something in me...) Before the thought. Before the question. Before me. (before me...) My body wants you. That's easy. My head wants reasons. It always does. But this No. This is something else. (this is something else...) I don't want to love you in the dark. I don't want to love you in the dark. (I don't want to love you in the dark...) So I turn on the light. There you are. I thought I'd understand. I don't. What knew you before I did? (What knew you before I did?) Something in me got there first. (something got there first...) Before the thought. Before the question. Before me. (before me...) I don't want to love you in the dark. (I don't want to love you in the dark...) I thought I was looking for you. Maybe I was looking for the part of me that already knew. (that already knew...) Before I did.
