Lydia keeps my toothbrush in her apartment and she never complains.
Well, hardly ever. and then jokingly she says
Boy, its been so long since I held you, I nearly gave you up for dead. I nearly gave you up for dead. I nearly gave you up for dead.
Lydia, lydia how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all. this is more than I had planned.
Lydia, lydia I am at your command, at least until morning comes,
Then, I must be off again.
Lydia, you know I always talk about making conscious decisions, about running my own life. well, maybe Im fooling myself. its a role I like to play.
Because more often than not Im down here on the corner. Im sorry I woke you. do you feel like some company? babe, I need a place to stay.

I sleep with a woman who thinks Im a child. well, maybe I am. no, that wouldnt surprise anyone. I suspect that much is true.
But, lydia, if you only knew how much I love you. did you know that I love you? its the best that I can do.
