1.
The Bus Stop 02:54
we held hands through the crowd on the way to the restrooms we sat close at the show arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder later at the bus stop you reached for my glasses and gave me the blurriest smile i've seen in a while
2.
we share the cat and the kitchen is a mess, isn't it? i will pretend not to care, i don't give a shit you are the best friend that i've ever had and i'll call you a bear we shared a porch and a homey and bar he came for you from the farthest of far you were the best thing that i ever saw until i saw you for you we had our nicknames and similarities you had the row boat scraping up your knees i was the pinnacle of best dressed men and then i fell down again you've got the house and the car, best of luck i will not pretend to care, i don't give a fuck you were the best friend that i ever had and i'll call you a hare we had our nicknames and similarities you had the row boat scraping up your knees i was the pinnacle of best dressed men and then i fell down again
3.
Mint Tea 02:33
She said what are you doing here? And I said that I wasn't sure And she said why don't you come inside? And I asked if it was alright We had mint tea and sniffed around the kitchen And blinked at each other in the moonlight The shadows in Madison feel like a time machine I have never been high On anything or anyone like I am with you right now She said I was forward for reaching forward To touch her hand She said I'll be your friend And I thought that that was fair
4.
we used to be strangers before we were friends and i never knew that you noticed me then a city without you seems so fucking impossible now we used to be friends and then we were lovers like snakes in the cushions or mice in the cupboards and no one could tell where you ended or where i began we used to be lovers and then we were friends it was so complicated before holding hands lie on the bed and we'd lie to each other and listen to Spoon while we spooned we used to be friends and then we were strangers sitting apart in the same movie theater watching two people do everything that we used to do
