Time Means Nothing


Time means nothing When the people you care about aren’t there anymore I barely knew you for 3 months We talked for 1 Talked about your mom My friends Us My friend encouraged you to make it official Oh, how I regret it Maybe if we hadn’t, we would still be friends I hope you know I miss you I barely knew you for 3 months We talked for two weeks Always annoyed the fuck out of each other Always making each other mad Always for the fun of the game All my friends told me I was leading you on I never meant to I thought you were hysterical Always taking it like you were giving it Too bad the game ended I barely knew you for four months We were best friends We were going to college together You were gonna go a year before me And I was gonna see you there T and K forever, is what we said Tried to message you from another You kindly told me to fuck off I barely knew you 6 weeks We talked for 4 I had to throw out the pillow you made me It was the most valuable thing I had for 3 years I tried to reach out You had forgotten who I was Asked me to stop bothering you My mom still remembers you I’ve known you 3 years We’ve been drifting for 1 I’ve tried so hard to fix things Even though it’s not my fault you fucked up I miss you so goddamn much Even though I see you everyday I’ve timed it By sophomore year 3 years will be gone Time means nothing When you don’t talk to the people you used to talk to When the people you loved don’t care anymore
