Sherlock?
Sherlock, you should know
That when I throw out the experiments
I don't want you to stop experimenting
Just maybe not near food?
Sherlock, I should tell you
That when I call you a pain, and many things besides
It's because I hate to see you cold and aloof
You're not a pain but a friend, my best friend
Sherlock, you must know,
That when you deduce and I say show off
It's because I don't want to wear the other words out
I say brilliant and amazing too much
Sherlock, listen to me
When I swear I want a flatmate who doesn't scare away
The girlfriends I date, they all think
(Incorrectly, I think) that it's because you want to date me
Sherlock, I'm just saying
When my first words to you are Christ Sherlock
Put some clothes on it's kind of because
You're beautiful and I'm not gay
Sherlock, I realised
When you were gone (I know, don't talk about it)
I realised
Sherlock, I realised
I don't want you as a flatmate
I don't want you as a friend (even a best friend)
I want you as a boyfriend-partner-thing
Can the experiments be on how long it takes to fall in love?
The aloofness cured by a kiss?
Can brilliant please be said more often by me?
The girlfriends just non-existent now?
And the clothes not an issue any more?
Sherlock?
John is a girl's name, too.
