There is a diner down the street Where we sit to talk and think. Our own Thanksgiving: In the middle of June In the middle of the night, In some god-awful town We couldn't wait to get out of. Do you remember? The waitress asked if we wanted coffee. You were so out of your body You wept. I apologized only for embarrassment. Don't ruin this for me. You looked good. Your once sunken, steaming eyes are bright. Not bright enough to be a picture, but pretty **** close. Reach your hand across the stained table, to touch mine grasping a pink package, of kind-of-sweet sugar. The clock watched my eyes look for ghosts to talk about. You don't have to be sorry for the night you went too far. I know that is hard. I'm writing you a letter now. I'll smudge the return address. I hope you are thankful for someone like me.

Thanksgiving.
There is a diner down the street Where we sit to talk and think. Our own Thanksgiving: In the middle of June In the middle of the night, In some god-awful town We couldn't wait to get out of. Do you remember? The waitress asked if we wanted coffee. You were so out of your body You wept. I apologized only for embarrassment. Don't ruin this for me. You looked good. Your once sunken, steaming eyes are bright. Not bright enough to be a picture, but pretty **** close. Reach your hand across the stained table, to touch mine grasping a pink package, of kind-of-sweet sugar. The clock watched my eyes look for ghosts to talk about. You don't have to be sorry for the night you went too far. I know that is hard. I'm writing you a letter now. I'll smudge the return address. I hope you are thankful for someone like me.
