Awkward tastes like that glass of red wine you offered, My name falling out of your mouth like a word you'd forgotten; Awkward feels like your arms around me and me trying to remember if you used to rub my back in a hug; Awkward looks like not making any eye contact but instead taking turns watching eachother; The room was full of your family and latina music, I hadn't been that happy since September And all the while I could feel my heart choking On the silence between you and I And that big lump of "What now?" That currently defines us.

Awkward tastes like that glass of red wine you offered, My name falling out of your mouth like a word you'd forgotten; Awkward feels like your arms around me and me trying to remember if you used to rub my back in a hug; Awkward looks like not making any eye contact but instead taking turns watching eachother; The room was full of your family and latina music, I hadn't been that happy since September And all the while I could feel my heart choking On the silence between you and I And that big lump of "What now?" That currently defines us.
Just a weird situation.
