Overused Phrases

pour the champagne
don't worry about who you hurt tonight
he looks at you, you look at him
across the room you can hear each other's heart beat
you know that just for tonight you can let yourself go
should you? of course not. but that doesn't stop you right?
you remember the first time this had happened.
you went into the woods, he smelled spicy and dry.
your intentions had been fair. it was only a matter of time
before things started boiling down to nothing though.
it's time for a toast to bad memories and wounded relationships
he follows you into the elevator, you ask him were he's going
he says anywhere your going also.
you forget about those you've left behind at the party
they are really just fragments of a bigger picture
you rethink your decision but why should you?
it's not a big deal right? he follows you into your hotel
room. you intertwine, drunken, not really aware of
the scenery around you. this was a mistake you tell
yourself quickly. rushing out of the room he runs behind you.
your boyfriend comes off the elevator and sees you
two together. hair mussed, clothes half buttoned, makeup smeared.
you tell him you can explain everything if he would listen.
really can you? because explanations mean nothing at this point.
