Different(a night of tequila)

A few shots of tequila in our blood, and we care less what it was,
It is the name that matters and the person that cares.
I know we are different, and we say it different,
We may want the same, yet we don’t show it the same.
A part of me wants it, I keep within my shell,
We share the void; the shell protects as we lay still..

A few more shots - we hear our empty beings,
And you want to share a few things.
Kiss me by my cheek, to be strong.
You say we are friends - you kiss me again,
And I want to kiss you, as we are friends.
But we are different, and we say it different,
You tremble away - this is different.
And I say the same, but it is different.
We are friends and we are different.

My shell is all that protects now as we lay still..
