Yes Please, It's Time

We stopped talking
in a crowded pub
and it was like
everyone could hear
our silence

They were all
kissing
cuddling
finding time
to grope under the table

And I wanted there to be
noise for us
blissful buzzed up
sexy noise
like "I'll show you mine
if you'll show me yours"

But I've seen yours
and you've seen mine
one too many times
and over the cocktail cherries
my friend
I think we both know
we're facing the end
