Toothbrush to the Bicycle Tire by Sarah Kay
They told me that I was meant for the cleaner life that you would drag me through the mud They said that you would tread all over me that they could see right through you that you were full of hot air that I would always be chasing Always watching you disappear after sleeker models that would be a vicious cycle But I know better. I know about your rough edges and I have seen your perfect curves I will fit into whatever space you’ll let me If loving you meant getting dirty, bring on the grime I will leave this porcelain hole behind I’m used to twice a day relationships but with you I’d take all the time And I know we live in different worlds and we’re always really busy but in my dreams you spin around me so fast I always wake up dizzy So maybe one day you’ll grow tired of the road and roll on back to me and when I blink my eyes into one morning your smile will be the only one I see
