Ease (A New Man)
Fake laughter.
Not sure whom Ethan thinks he's fooling; it's not me.
There's not so much water gone under that bridge that I can't recognize pain or loneliness.
It'd be so easy to reach across the table, drink forgotten, to grasp Ethan's hand.
To ask him back to my place –no promises, expectations, or false hopes.
We're both adults now; jaded and cynical.
But some things never change.
The reason I can't cover that chasm between us is because of how easy it'd be.
Too easy to remember why I'd loved this man.
Too easy to forget why I'd stopped.
