Oh, I am sorry. Let’s focus on tracks 8 and 10. I knew I loved you from the start.
a lot like this since the other night.
“A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you never entirely recover.”
- Bukowski
i wanna do right, but not right now.
I’m dancing and mingling like a modern day miss america. you walk in, my heart sinks a little, but i look at my red velvet cake stained hand and realize i have bigger issues to deal with. I give you the biggest hug of my life…I think it only takes so long because my mind is reeling on the fact that regardless of the different ways our bodies have been entwined I don’t think we’ve ever actually hugged, we’ve never had this innocence. i separate from the situation and enter the back room, i stare at the floor, the pipe, and back at the floor again. Your feet appear in my peripheral and I feel mad that you are wearing the boat shoes that I picked out for someone else. I think I’m most mad you look good in them. I think I’m most most mad because you look good in general. I slip out one more “i’m so bad at this” before I let my lips touch the glass and watch my friend bring the lighter closer to my face. I hear you say, “oh ya, I forgot you don’t know how to do this” and in my i’llshowyou moment I inhale harder than I ever have in my entire life, swallow the smoke, exhale and exit like a champion of the world.
i went in to the bathroom immediately after and coughed for a good five minutes. i stared at myself in the mirror and realized i still didn’t quite get there. you probably ruined this for me. i mean, i’ll at least blame you for it.
