Analysis of Lust By Numbers
My sundress was about 8 inches above the knee
With 1 strap that refused to be still
And gave you an sneak preview of 34DD
I felt your 6 pack on the pads of my fingers
It had been 5 years since we dated
Almost 6 since our first salty post game kiss
It was 102 sultry degrees that night
With a throbbing 90 percent humidity
Just the 2 of us lying in the wet grass
Laughing and resisting for 3 hours
But even after 5 margaritas between us
I was still 1/2 a chance short
of a 1 night stand
