You thought you'd see her around
Not everyday, but fairly often
And no one quite knew how to take it,
When a new boy took your place up on the mountain
Remember those endless days you spent
Frolicking through fields and licking cement
Spelling out each others names in twigs
And stitching your bones together with gold thread
Now she's got everything she needs
A blonde boy from the state park
Who lives in a barrel of beer beneath the southwestern rapids
And a home made from the backseat of her secondhand car
You have sternum pains and you know far too much
You used to wear your hair long to keep those mountain secrets
These days it grows to hide the footprint left below your bottom lip
Some bonds lie strictly in memory
And
She knows she's been on your mind
