Remember when we were
sixteen and music was
what kept our souls alive?
-
Remember how I’d sing “don’t waste
your time on me,” and you’d sing
right back, “you’re already a voice
inside my head”?
-
I wish I saw how true that was
even if you were just borrowing
the words from someone else.
-
We didn’t judge each other.
I was your friend when no one
else would be, and you were
mine when I thought no one
could possibly like me.
-
I liked you better when you
liked yourself—
now I think you just left your soul
in the lyrics to a song teenagers
wouldn’t even recognize anymore.
-
I don’t miss you now,
but god,
I miss who
you were.
