the biggest loser i know


 
I met this guy 
and I must say 
I wish I never met him 
cus he's the biggest loser 
that I know 
from his smooth chocolate skin 
that I want to run my hands over 
to the big smile 
I want to place mine on top of 
 
I can't stand him 
he's the biggest loser I know 
as he stands there 
speaking so eloquently 
how he makes any word 
sound like my new favorite word 
baffles me 
got me turned on by vocabulary 
 
I don't like that guy 
he's the biggest loser I know 
with big brown eyes 
and even bigger hands 
that maybe I would like to hold 
maybe even brush my thumb 
across the top of his knuckles 
although he's the biggest loser I know
but how can he be so sweet 
and so funny 
when he compliments me 
I feel my stomach threatening 
to get up and run from me 
he makes my brain go 
a mile per minute 
spinning and spinning 
but I can't barely speak 
cus I'm trying to stop grinning 
 
tell him stay away from me 
he's the biggest loser I know 
that I want to walk thru prospect park with 
arm and arm thru brooklyn 
up Fulton and down Flatbush 
I wish he'd get out of my head 
why am I thinking about him 
he's the biggest loser I know 
but I want to explore his mind 
and find out what keeps him up at night 
I bet he's got dreams and goals 
I bet you feel the energy in the room 
when he talks 
about his passions 
 
I was hoping 
we could be two losers together 
but you know 
not even together but 
maybe something close 
 
but I don't know 
he's still the biggest loser I know 
so I just go with the flow 
I watch as he takes the lead 
from a safe distance I follow 
fearful that if I move too fast 
he'll move faster 
right out of my grasp
