i can't help but think
of the time i skipped school to see you.
i had just gotten back from
my classes new york trip --
three days without seeing you
i thought i was going to die.
                                                            ­              (how little i knew that you
would **** me sooner)

speeding down the highway
of dazed workers
how unaware they were
of the insanity that you put
sparkling in my eyes
the sooner i saw you
the happier i'd be.

we embraced for what felt like
the whole time we had been together--
exactly a month and 7 days--
but it wasn't long enough
and that was the day you first kissed me
to midnight city by M83
in the mall parking lot
i wanted nothing more that day
than to be with you forever.
                                                        ­           (but forever never found us)
