Letting Go

A lot of people rid themselves and wash their hands, but I just wear a different shade of lipstick.  

How do I know?

If the make-up wears off before you have time to wash it off, then you know it's real...

3 a.m.

"There is no reason to wipe off red lipstick.
I much prefer that it be smeared."

Because

"I guess I thought I needed a reason.
Doesn't everyone?"

...so you did

You thought you could, so you did.
You thought he was, so you did. 
You thought she knew, so you did.
You thought they went, so you did.

You thought you could, so you did. . .

Strange

Everything has changed.
How did a heart so feeble as yours remain the same?

Sense

It does not make sense, but you are what I need so I'll hold on.
For the first time, I will hold on. . .
