I don't want to go
to this Christmas party tonight
because last year you were with me
and you sang karaoke
into my dads mic
and you caught me when I slipped on ice
and landed under that car
and we laughed about it for days
and this time I will be alone
watching every other couple enjoy each others company
wondering what we'd be doing if you were here.
Or what you're doing at this time of night
and how my memory hasn't even crossed your mind
and why I continue to waste my time
but I can't help it.
