I remember sitting with my legs crossed
at an empty parking lot with you.
Burning our lungs,
sharing our deepest secrets at 3am
while I rest my head
on your shoulder that cold summer night.
I sang along our favorite songs
and you wished that time stopped
so we could still be together.
But alas,
You are still too damaged.
You think too much.
You are too practical.
You are not yet ready for anything.
And I’m left confused
and angry
and frustrated
and a little bit hurt, I guess.
So here we are again,
so here we go again.
Who would have thought
that we would actually
burn even faster
than our cigarettes?
