balls balloons and moons I love watching you when you're drunk laughing and stumbling sideways like one leg is shorter than the other heels twisting under the pressure of country songs wailing about loss tracing my eyes as they follow yours a little boy inside I see you bouncing in pigtails twisting gum teeth grinning at me across the room now you're here gently teasing me away from myself falling in love with you again balls balloons and moons whenever you fill the room until I saw you walking in then later walking out I never knew what emptiness meant or even how it felt
