so happy to be back and writing again! i have so many ideas for this month (❁´◡`❁)

Separated by a salty channel Divided by a dozen state lines I’ll beg you to give me your musings Late night, I’ll give you all of my time You’ve left my body so hollow A you-shaped space in between I’ll choke on the words that I swallow A wall masquerades as a screen

Now I’m no longer sleeping Awake, I’m plotting and scheming For how to keep in touch With someone I can’t touch

I’ve been here the whole time, you see The girl of your dreams, does that ring a bell? Something’s not right We were doomed from the start A friend of a friend, this won’t end well A friend of a friend, this can never end well

I could blame all this on the weather That the heat is melting my mind As I wait, my heart and my head hurt But yes, oh yes, yes I’m fine A stretch of six hours of silence Is enough to have me undone Vigilant, I’ll repress and deny it That it’s over before it’s begun

Now I’m no longer sleeping Awake, I’m plotting and scheming For how to keep in touch With someone I can’t touch

I’ve been here the whole time, you see The girl of your dreams, does that ring a bell? Something’s not right We were doomed from the start A friend of a friend, this won’t end well A friend of a friend, this can never end well

August, saw your face for the first time Crumpled up and died inside Realized this wasn’t real life That you could never be mine You were never mine

I’ve been here the whole time, you see The girl of your dreams, does that ring a bell? Something’s not right We were doomed from the start A friend of a friend, this won’t end well A friend of a friend, this can never end well I’ve been here the whole time you see The girl of your dreams, does that ring a bell? But that never mattered, because I still lingered A friend of a friend, this didn’t end well
