    Maybe That’s Enough

    Not everything needs a name.
    That includes whatever this is.

    Maybe That’s Enough is about liking someone without immediately needing to know where it’s going. He comes over, we have a good evening, he goes home and nobody has to turn it into a conversation about what happens next. After eleven years of knowing exactly where everything belonged, I’m quite enjoying leaving a few things undecided. Maybe it becomes something. Maybe it doesn’t. I’m trying not to ruin a perfectly nice present by demanding a future from it.

    THOUGHTS, MOSTLY

    You said you’d call when you got home
    I didn’t ask what time
    I watched you leave, then made some tea
    And didn’t change my mind

    You left your jacket on the chair
    You’ll probably want it back
    I thought about what that might mean
    Then stopped myself at that

    Maybe that’s enough
    You come round, I let you
    We stay up too late
    I like being with you

    Maybe that’s enough
    Don’t need to make it more
    You know where I live
    You know which one’s my door

    You asked me what I’m doing Friday
    I said I wasn’t sure
    A year ago I’d need a reason
    Now I don’t anymore

    There’s still a toothbrush in the drawer
    I haven’t made you space
    You haven’t tried to leave one here
    I rather like it that way

    Maybe that’s enough
    You come round, I let you
    We stay up too late
    I like being with you

    Maybe that’s enough
    Don’t need to make it more
    You know where I live
    You know which one’s my door

    My friend asked what we’re calling this
    I said I didn’t know
    She waited for the rest of it

    There wasn’t any more

    Maybe that’s enough
    You come round, I let you
    We stay up too late
    I like being with you

    Maybe that’s enough
    Don’t need to make it more
    You know where I live
    You know which one’s my door

    Maybe that’s enough
    For now, I think it is
