I was cleaning house this afternoon,
Cussing and spitting at the thought of you.
We’d just had an awful fight,
And you were at a friend’s for the night.
I was following the trail a dust bunny’d left,
And it led me to your side of the bed.

Behind a couple of your old socks,
I found an old dusty shoebox.
I took the lid off, and then I frowned,
I saw his picture and I sat down.

A long time ago he was my night and day,
And wild horses couldn’t have pulled me away.
It was a picture of us in each other’s arms,
And even now, I can see his charm.
When he left me, it broke my heart,
But for some reason, the tears didn’t start.

It’s been a while since I’ve cried myself to sleep,
And I know that’s because you’re there with me.
It doesn’t kill me to look at his face,
Because even though, in my heart, he has a place…

You’re the one who drives me up the wall,
Then you look like you’ve done nothing at all.
You can make me shiver with one simple word,
And then make me feel like I’M being absurd.
When I make you laugh, I’m walking on clouds,
You’ve dragged me so up, I’m not looking down.

When I think about you, my heartbeat quickens,
And I think about us, my blood starts to thicken.
Our relationship’s built on love, faith, and trust,
And not a small dose of pure, animal lust!

And I’m looking though pictures scattered on the floor,
And I realize that it doesn’t hurt anymore.
I can’t find one trace of rejection or pain,
I’m just so damn happy I’m happy again.
And you walk through the door, with a sexy smile,
And I know we’re gonna be here for a while.

In a box under my bed,
Are some pictures that stay in my head.
But now they’re in the back of my mind,
Because I’m thinking of you all the time!

~I love you, Max!
