An Empty Space

Sarah's got a bad reputation.
Tara's got only feel good intentions.
Because of the rain Sarah accepted a ride.
When Tara asked (stupidly brusque)
Sarah said she needed time to decide.
Tara wasn't so hard up -- that she couldn't wait
So she asked in a different way.
Sarah agreed to a date.
More than Tara wanted to -- she liked the girl.
That's why she hesitated about
Bringing Sarah over to her world.
Called a whore
Jockey's in and out the back door
With Tara -- she'll be labelled a freak
Tara is the "IT" of whom the christian's speak.
Tara called and cancelled.
When they passed days later
Sarah looked hurt -- Tara felt like a jerk.
So she wrote Sarah a letter -- tried to explain.
For days and days she didn't feel better.
Tara just couldn't forget her.
One day -- they met by chance.
Tara crookedly smiled -- Sarah smiled back.
They drove to Sarah's place.
Tara entered through the front door.
They had wine with dinner.
Talking -- they lost track of time.
Three months later
Most of Sarah's stuff was at Tara's place.
They looked at the clutter
And prayed
That there's never again
An empty space.
