I can't tell if I'm high; Or the wires in my brain has detached the ability to feel my physical body. & a memory appears in my head;   That night at 3am; It was raining and we were chain smoking in your car in a grocery store parking lot. Foxing came on the stereo. That's when you turned to me & said, 'This is what I mean.' I exhaled smoke and watched it slip out the cracked window. Your eyes were looking down, & I just said, "I don't know' We sat in silence; But I could sense your thoughts. Inside of me I felt; Vacant. Physically I felt; Tipsy from the beers I drank at our friends house. I think of that day now & wonder if you were hurt. Could it have felt like; knocking your knee against the corner of a table? Sometimes, I feel sorry that you've met me. Can we go back to listening to Midwestern emo bands, laying on the floor in a room with nothing but a bed and a record player. Before emotions and opinions formed; Before you told me you hated me; Before we became friends again and you sometimes would buy me a soda. When there were no intentions; just company.

It was so quiet it was loud and i felt anxious but calm
I can't tell if I'm high; Or the wires in my brain has detached the ability to feel my physical body. & a memory appears in my head;   That night at 3am; It was raining and we were chain smoking in your car in a grocery store parking lot. Foxing came on the stereo. That's when you turned to me & said, 'This is what I mean.' I exhaled smoke and watched it slip out the cracked window. Your eyes were looking down, & I just said, "I don't know' We sat in silence; But I could sense your thoughts. Inside of me I felt; Vacant. Physically I felt; Tipsy from the beers I drank at our friends house. I think of that day now & wonder if you were hurt. Could it have felt like; knocking your knee against the corner of a table? Sometimes, I feel sorry that you've met me. Can we go back to listening to Midwestern emo bands, laying on the floor in a room with nothing but a bed and a record player. Before emotions and opinions formed; Before you told me you hated me; Before we became friends again and you sometimes would buy me a soda. When there were no intentions; just company.
