Now Listening: Tell Me — Johnny Jewel

Loving you is as easy as eating cheese
Or my favourite
make-believe

Loving you is imagining you in every peice of art I see

Loving you is a one-man play

Loving you is the aroma of a theatre, ready for a performance

Loving you is laughing at a stale joke, retold too many times

Loving you is averted eyes and palms pressed to thighs

Loving you is early sleep and unspoken goodbyes

Loving you is a soft pillow, punched too many times

Loving you is the bedsheet imprint, after a deep sleep

Loving you is a clenched fist upon a closed road

Loving you is a pleasant orange that is freshly cut

Loving you is wondering if the sea will be rough or smooth

Loving you is breaking a secret I never kept

Loving you is reluctance and regret

Loving you is a dry spell, waiting for rain

Loving you is the sigh of an unborn child

Loving you is an unfinished dream
