Way past when we should be

Now

I stay staring at a TV

Watching the same thing

And I don’t know all the lines

But I knew all the lines

Once

But everything I want

Seems very

Very

i still hope it's you

we talk sometimes

most mornings

and nights

about trivial things

but my phone just buzzed

and i checked the time difference

and surely you're not awake at 6am

i have other friends

but what do i do

when all i want

I’m nice when you’re learning what emoji means what

And I’m nice before we get comfortable

I got comfortable quickly

You felt right

And different

And nice

And you were mine for the keeping

And you silently agreed to that

Until you realised

I’m nice when I’m new

I always am

It’s only once I become myself

I'm too superstitious

God every number counts

Every touch to something must be repeated

I can't listen to this song

I can't eat this

There's a spot there

I must peel the skin off

I must pause it here

I can't lose this

So I'll tap five times

And everyone knows three's never work

And if I play this game

Then I'll miss this

And if I watch something

I'll love them more

And I care

But I can't

And I shouldn't

And the order of everything matters

And if I did something different

I might be somewhere else

And what if I did it wrong?

every corner I turn

I think you'll be there

like there's a cosmic connection

but I can't say I love you

you made that clear
