Diving Into the Shallow End by Eric Sparks

I could say “superman ain’t saving shit”
as a metaphor for how lonely I wish I felt,
but I won’t, because I’m more like the
pull-out-the-chair type and I don’t listen
to the rest. I’m not so worried about manners
or romantic politics so much as I hate hurting
people and it’s so easy to not be an asshole
that I hardly think I could be.

So if I kiss you on the cheek,
we’re probably still just friends
and I’m probably just impressed
with some way that you make me feel.

This it is to say, sometimes I
go out of my way just to make someone’s day
only because they made me smile at some point; it’s the
same reason I call my favorite people "love"
and the same reason I always hug tight.
