The "Blue Man" Shirt

I put this shirt up on the shelf

After a long night and sweating

With a picture in the headlights

And 30 minutes till I'm asleep



Orange is your favorite color

Which is why I wore it that night

Hidden in the darkness

Just a glimpse from a streetlight



It layed there on my desk

As to remind me of you

The painting that you made for me

The love I shared with you



It was washed a few weeks later

Without permission or a question

I was a little bit upset

But I still thought about you





That's why I put it on the shelf again

To keep the memories away

I loved to think about them

But I have a new love today



Then today I took it off my desk

Put it on instead

A new scent of a new love looms

A new memory I might forget



So I'll wear it one more time tomorrow

Hopefully you will know

That the last time that I put it on

I was so deep in love



So this is a constant reminder

Of what I want from a girl

A suddle conversation

Before the passion of the world



Now with new meanings to think about

It'll have still one more use

Tuesday nights are constant reminders

I can't wait to make a reminder of you



I want you to know-I'll think of you now

Everytime I see and smell

This shirt is my constant reminder

Of this love I know so well

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I put on the "Blue Man" shirt again...after it was put away for good (so I thought)  I love the Blue Man concert memories, and I love thinking about the other ones, but they are sometimes too hard to think about...but now that I'm with someone else, I hope to make new memories in this shirt...I would love to be able to wear it religiously again...I guess only time will tell
