...and that time...

more of the early aughts; or not (do you even know what the aughts are? this dictionary doesn't).
drunk scribbles from that time (and that time...
and that time...
and that time...)
SAAHS lets just go with it.

you don't want what we can have you want what i can
give you
not to share

but
what i have given you is
what you wish you could have
in your bedroom
and, i can't lend it to you
anymore

i came to the conclusion and told you about it
but i never meant
this
but my denial should have told me
and
well
i am not surprised at all.
i am not surprised at all
that they are with you in the woods now. i mean, was it anyone else?
no.
it was always them.
and thats okay, it was fun.
We all talk in our own language, and, really
those few minds i put to bed nightly
and
those who own the lighters
i hold in my back pocket are the only ones
who can sound out the s' in my slurred tongue.

they can pick the tufts from your hair, and i know that they want to
thats the thing
they want to
and i don't
i can love you from a far
and
its the only way
it should be
and you want it that way
even if you can't
admit it
and
you know this
and it was fun pretending for awhile

and the ones who don't need
to ask
of
anything
and yet i am
willing to give


i'm a dreamer
i'm a dreamer
but i'm not the only one


but


we are one

you have me
i just can't give you all of it because
i know i'll never get it back

and the ones who don't need
to ask
of
anything
and yet i am
willing to give

its taken me this long to realize and
i don't mind
its just nice to know
theres a reason you're there and then you're not
you're afraid to show all the ones who
love those eyes
and, i guess i don't blame you
i mean, i don't know
(what its like)
i just think
the coward in the corner will be called on
soon enough
and i wish
you'd just give something real and flawed
and ugly
because you've given me everything
except that

Have i ever mentioned how I much I fucking hate time?
