Paper Cup

Paper cup

“Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up love her, and she’ll bring you luck”
“Danny’s song”

Staring at a blank screen
Hoping words will pop up
Just keep thinking of that girl
The one who holds the paper cup
Asking myself
What is it that is keeping me up?
Up this damn late
Maybe I’m thinking of that wonderful date?
Plenty of spilled beers
A three year long date
Filled with laughter and tears
For now
Hearing your voice will have to suffice
Hoping you return to me
To be precise
Searching for the right words
To sum it all up
When all I really want
Is to be that paper cup
