[AMELIE:]
I could stay right here
and give back the boy his book
But if I stay right here
He'll think that I'm a nun and I am not a nun
He'll think that I'm a chaste
and I am not a chaste
Or I could fly away
Leave this book on the shelf by the lube and the lingerie
But that means it's over whatever this is and
I think I should wait though it's hard to articulate why
Or I could stay right here
And shake this habit off
Just stay right here and say hello
and say my name
say, "Here's your book and what a place and hey lets keep in touch"
And then I've said too much
It's hard to go unseen
At least in this instance with so little distance between
Me and the boy and this book and the shop and the...wow
Now it's me
Just me against the door
It isn't what I want although I think I want some more
Now I need to go
I'm finished with the boy- I mean the book
So I will hold him- hold it 'till tomorrow
