Ironically I've been thinking about you lately. Not obsessively. Just the way a song comes back before you remember its name. Bad Omens, a crowded room, I asked you to put it on. Nothing special. Then we met again. Same room. Same people. This time you played it first. That's when I should have known. We talked. Shy at first, then something opened the kind of open I'd stopped believing in. Until the 13th. we should break up sorry I don't see you that way You could have said it sooner. Before the kiss, at least. But I wasn't honest either. I told you my heart belonged to the sky. To no one. And then I stayed. So maybe the real lie wasn't yours it was me, pretending I knew how to leave. Somewhere between a song and a second meeting, I forgot I was supposed to. It wasn't just you. It wasn't just me. Just something neither of us knew how to hold or let go.
