Your poem. Wasn't about me.
We've never been friends. Who are you talking about?
Cool as fuck you played hockey. I knew you were a tomboy.
Stanza by stanza thoughts:
If I'd been born a few years later.
You're not old.
If I'd grown up on the east coast.
You're there now.
If I'd stayed in piano lessons.
Six months freestyle on a keyboard.
If I remembered more of my first house.
You can. weed. solitude. movies you watched there.
If my parents didn't get divorced.
If my parents didn't get divorced.
Sorry. mine almost did.
If I never drove my car into that ditch.
Hey me too!
If I never picked up a drink.
That wasn't a mistake.
If I'd studied harder in high school.
It's not too late for you to win.
If I'd been a dancer instead of a hockey player.
If I'd been a dancer instead of a hockey player.
No.
If my brother never got sick.
Not your fault.
If I'd taken that semester abroad somewhere else.
Where did you go last time? where do you want to go next time?
If I'd gotten the promotion.
Not important.
If I'd taken that other job.
Not very important.
If I'd picked a different apartment.
There's always now.
If I never got on stage.
?
If we never stopped being friends.
See right here fucks me up. who's that? Kill them don't pine.
If I wasn't me, I wouldn't exist.
Definitely.
If I'm not in the moment, then I'm nowhere.
Exactly.
But if I wasn't me—
But if I wasn't me—
Please don't stop.
and you weren't you.
There's nothing wrong with me. i don't want to be anyone else.
Except the guy you write poems too!!!
*****
Great poem.
I'm watching Marie Antoinette.
You're hotter than Kirsten.
More beautiful.
Smarter.
Sexier.
Tougher.
Better.
Greater.
Be mine!
