i dont need to explain why my mouth becomes a half-written dictionary words like 'um' and 'like' and 'yeah' and 'ha' all pour out at alarming rates and you try and remain mysterious while i just try and remain so i’ll sleep with you at your parents house and thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me stay and when you make me breakfast with beans and eggs, i’ll pretend that i don’t see the bacon floating around i’ll just toss my fork right down the garbage disposal and say hello to your mother and walk your dogs and i’ll get interrupted while writing about you and i’ll be grateful for it and that fork is still chugging in the garbage disposal and please, let me down easy when you dont feel the same have your mom wave goodbye as we drive down the street
