Tell your friend i said goodbye and i pray those state lines pass like his favorite seasons full of hope. those familiar sites and smells that feel like home or like grade school when the sky looked much smaller because he didn't tip his young head fully toward it. There was so much in front of him. A world laid out so simple. On fire. So beautiful.
Maybe its for the best you leave so we can preserve our fragile memories cased in glass cast in stone just for us.

say you remember when i could write your name on the arms of the chairs you frequented. its like we knew they were yours. and we can hang on together forever on the same things we thought we knew we'd stop. we knew we were better off leaving only locked doors, or crumbs on the path behind. we thought one day it would lead us back. that not even crows would eat them. i can remember the time of day but not what season it was. i was so sure what you wanted but im still not sure what i was waiting for. i guess it was warm. maybe summer. you cut my jeans into shorts and we said goodnight.

When your coffee table is a bed of nails you find out. That you're never gonna be the happiest you've ever been ever again. any way you paint it. But you love the city. dirty and familiar. it seems you think truth stems from conversation. you talk about things you used to believe

Green As The Trees

if the world seems a little more beautiful today its just because of what i smoked or what i drank. tonight will find me in the same place, but today i smoked out with Robert and Gabe. Its funny how boys become men. I remember when they were kids in the same yard. Too young to pronounce their 'r's. green as the trees short as the grass and never knowing how winding this world can be. or the friends we'd lose or the ones we'd gain. like fleeing an accident or being crushed by the weight, but today i love my cousins i love my friends i love those kids.

When you came home it was red outside. The evening was sticking to your coat. You tried to wipe it from your sleeve. THERES SOMETHING SHAKING INSIDE OF ME. My heart will race even when i sleep.

Like We Just Met

i know you hate me for leaving
(you ask me)
but i cant keep kidding myself
(for everything you need)
"i thought you'd stand by me"
(poured out from eleven months of)
What i've been trying to say is
( boredom and change)
I know you'll love me someday
(and very little faith in what i'll end up doing to you)
i count to catch my breath while all the rest is lifted.
i know it might be hard to live like we just met.
i hate the way you've changed and how everything's shifted.
remember the way we were when we just met.

through the back streets on Spencer's heels i wrote down everything I've ever known about you
how i found out how you look when you first wake up or how you take your coffee or tea.
i cant remember what about you i grew to love first the way your hair blew in autumn or how i missed you when you were away.
i know I'd always break the plans we made. scared of what shape they would take. but you loved me all the same.
I'm not sure what any of this means but there was a time it brought me home safely. you brought me home safely
