You should be too.

Things that start with the letter three, or consonance

Oh for the day,when I sway to drift again

and you find me, but I'm far away

will it shade the days

we spent on your family's lake

and this life is running me in circles

overlapping sloppy words

that lend themselves to different lives

In different tenses of love alligned

and the word memory is poison, but it tastes divine

Like the time you couldn't leave the dock

and I knew something inside of you was dying

and when we heard the songs about breaking every clock

but we forgot to forget the hands of time

Did I know you best all along?

Were we really discrete?

laying in streets

spending more than our share in backseats

of cars the color of coldplay songs

Like the times I used what I could

and you let me excite you

above where they stood

and sometimes I wonder too

If only they knew then

Maybe it would be different

If we ever fit in, with the animals we love

and the one that gets attacked by them

and the ones that were, where the black squirrels live

And the fruit you cut born from fields forever

In the torso of Adam and the legs of Fitch

how the thread that covered us meant so much then

and the one we pulled over us in your basement

hiding truths of rooftops and rain and lovers attention

waking up in hawaiian boundaries

the days when they laughed

at our awkwardly pressed and innocent bodies

And we never really had a chance between blue skies

between brown eyes and long goodbyes

to have something we had to hide

I'm sorry, If I let you go

I'm sorry if I missed your eyes

I got lost in lies, of yours and mine

and somewhere between our lines

a boy and girl live happily

ever and ever and ever after

And who am I, or who are you

To tell them that oughtn't to?

byassociation

so i'll keep writing

and you will too

we will never know each other

but we'll know each other best.

always

better than anyone filling the place ever could

because everything that meant anything died

with us

I'll admit.

suspense.

blankets.

movies.

it all meant more then

and living vicariously

was enough?

and we were all stars

we were all famous

and we still are

by association.
