You Swindled Me

At sixteen, she’s the epitome of teenage dreams and she’s into me, though we could never meet cause she’s a fantasy, and I am just some creep on the internet, frustrated sexually. Because my best friend is sleeping with my ex-girlfriend, and my self-esteem is screaming for something to pick me up again, and I can’t believe I’m finally breathing summer air and standing outside on your porch again.
I can’t catch a break.

Out of sight is not out of mind I’ve come to realize that I’m wasting my time by picking at the facts, cause and effect, scrutinizing the details of why you left. Last night I dreamt I was with you and we walked down past our old high school. It was like “ever since” had never been, we talked of things that don’t exist.
Now I’ve stopped punching walls when I think of you. I’ve stopped blaming myself for the shit that you pulled. I swear I don’t care, I don’t care anymore. I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care if you forget everything and we never speak again. I’m done dwelling on the “have nots” and “could have beens.” Who am I to pass judgement, who am I to condemn? I’m just a fucking kid and I don’t know anything (About love, about loss, about love, about...)
It’s not your memory that I’m clinging to, but rather some idealized version of you. You’re just some girl with your own problems now, you’re just some girl that I once cared about.

There’s something imagined, not recalled. Bright and raw, bits of street, browning leaves: a collection of images.
I was afraid for
I was afraid for you
For your tendency to
let the past live
let the past live on
inside of your head
And I still pray for
and I still pray for you
to find your way home
And as the days grow
and as the days grow short
the air’s familiar.
Forget what I said “I need you” I’m not waiting I believe you now. The past is a mess of misguided feelings. There’s something in the air, I see it drifting towards me I can’t make it out. The past is a memory, solid with yearning.
