chocolate brown,
velvet, perhaps?
The one that stopped just above your knees
the one you wore with the black tights on cool evenings
phone call one night, just before going out
[[phone rings]]
( a brief exchange of greeting and the usual pleasantries )
YOU: "yeah, this is gonna take me a little longer than i thought, i just realized i don't have anything good to wear."
ME: "oh, come on, you look nice no matter what you wear...seriously"
YOU: (laughing) "stop..."
ME: "i'm serious...but hey, what about that brown dress...you know, the one you wore when we went to Red Devil."
YOU: (making nervous sounds) "Ooh, i kinda ruined that one...if i wore it out now i could get busted for indecent exposure, it got... ripped...down the front"
ME: (too dumb to suspect anything) "Uh, okay"
and i've been wondering ever since if it didn't get ripped on one of those nights when you left me hanging ,when we made plans only to find you gone and i get handed some story about you being out with Raven and Terri
considering the way it got ripped, is that the night that led to the little situation (yeah, you know the one) that made you disappear
i guess that means the sight of you in that dress had the same effect on him too
