you really gotta stop sayin darlin like that,
all slow and honey-thick,
like you’re leaning on a fence post
with the sun sitting polite on your shoulder.
i mean, listen to you.
you stretch one word into three,
and i’m laughing, shaking my head,
tellin you that drawl’s criminal.
but you don’t stop, do you, cowboy?
you never do.
you just smile and say it again real soft like.
like you know exactly what you’re doing.
and here’s the thing i don’t say out loud.
every time you call me that?
something in me tilts closer,
like i’m bein pulled by the sound alone.
so yeah, i’ll keep teasin you,
keep mockin the way you talk,
pretend i’m not replayin it later
just to hear you say darlin one more time.
