always on the same page
salut, mon petit!
that's how i greet you
since we're both french minors
and we're both multi-ethnic
and we grew up in the same hometown
and we were born 11 days apart
and our favorite book genre is historical fiction
and sometimes we don't feel "asian enough"
and we both know the struggle of maintaining our cultures
and we say the same things at the same times- i'm convinced we're telepathic
since we're always on the same page
je suis un peu fatiguée
that's how i tell you i'm a bit sleepy, when you ask me how your girl is feeling
since we both have stressful "adult" obligations now
and we always put school first; we're both ambitious
and our universities are so far apart
and we're chasing our dreams
and we never have time
and it's late
we can't seem to get on the same page
it's time for bed.
...tu me manques
that's how i say i miss you, because i'm reading the historical fiction novel
you gave me before you moved
