and it's funny that we might have been the friends
who did each other's hair
and talked and laughed for hours.
we crouch to consider the boys
who fucked us over (royally)
but my heart still aches
to see him.
and i'm still dreaming
of those red streams
when i can't escape the tears
for those years that are lost.(11/09/2017)
