let's get straight to it

Word of the day: hokum
out-and-out nonsense; bunkum

You say something about someone that I struggle to follow
Because all I can think about are your lips and how they feel when we kiss
We laugh at the end of it, and I have to stop myself from walking over to you
Instead I counter your story with something else about someone else

None of this matters, really, we are just trying to sound interesting or smart
Or funny or whatever else, even though none of it will play a part in how this night ends
Because we both know that soon
We will tire of the irrelevant, the stalling, and close this space between us
