The Inevitable
So, then, how do we…
How do we move on?
Is there some point in time I was supposed to label this a mistake?
This whole thing, this whole history?
Was it doomed before it began?
I guess it was.
So, what? We just, we let it - go?
Is that what I am supposed to do?
Oh, oh boy.
I should’ve known it was too good to last.
Eventually you would see me.
Eventually your pure eyes would see my filth
Eventually I would wake up-
Car gone, fines everywhere,
House destroyed, friends in flames,
And my heart alone.
Eventually you’d learn.
And I can’t blame you. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to…
You just said to trust you, you said to believe
I tried so hard for so long and
And
But
And
And when it
When you were gone. . . . .
It hurt.
It’s been a while-
A long while,
It’s been so long since we spoke.
And I can already feel your unease. .
Well,
Maybe it’s just mine. Heh.
I know, I know I’m different,
I mean,
Look at me, I’m a little worse for wear.
I have these,
this
these new lives. This whole world!
Me.
Of course, it’s unexplored-
And I’ve just been procrastinating.
And yeah my belt is a little tighter…
But hey! It’s so,
so,
so terrifying, to see you again.
You know the last time I saw you, you were walking to a guys’ place?
I knew who it was.
not that it matters, I’m just the crazy one.
Yoo-hoo.
but, it mattered to me.
And…
It hit me then, what I’ve been trying to drown out ever since.
I want it to be you.
Sorry.
