I thought I’d see you around by now
I’d have nothing to say, but still
then again, I don’t go to church
and you said you’d be there
praying for me
funny how the most religious say only god can judge me
while spewing the most judgement
hypocrite.
your lack of confidence always annoyed me
it made me harder than I prefer
and quieter
I should have left a long time ago
I wasn’t your grandmother’s cup of coffee
with enough cream to pass for white
or at least half
you knew she wouldn’t like me
but she was your favorite
maybe we should have stayed friends
but you asked to love me one day
I obliged, but ugh
why did I stay so long
oh you made me laugh
oh, and love
right right
its definition at the time was odd
I was odd
anyway, this new girl
yea
I don’t think about her much
you either, for that matter
but I do sometimes wonder if she knows that that playlist she loves so much
was the soundtrack to our lovemaking
?
just curious
