How patiently, how perfectly
with such finesse, you plan our passion
in such exacting detail
you’ve prepared our romance
five years in advance
A spreadsheet for every kiss
lingering looks added to your ‘to-do’ list
flow-charts of clothes torn off
a map showing where to lose ourselves
in the moment
But it’s still love
or a version of it…
O, it’s still love
or your version of it…
Did you make a plan for me
to bend my knee
to descend on bended knee
Did you even know me then
did you even know me when
you made that plan
A clockwork heart ticks true
a clockwork heart flicks through
a catalogue of love experiences
to tick, tick, tick off
Ah, but it’s still love…
or a version of it…
O, it’s still love
or your version of it…
In the office of your heart
plan us a love event
in the office of your heart
can you schedule us some love
Or a love experience
to tick, tick, tick off…
[2016]

Thanks! 🙏🏼 I never really understood whether having a “five year plan” was compatible with romance or love… I’ve never had plans though. 🙂

Plans and love you can try for it, but it’s more of a go-with-the-flow-type-of thing, I think. It kinda chooses where it wants to go.
