Your handwriting on the envelope stuck by the fridge
The days you showed up to school with your messy blonde side fringe
Secrets we shared are never to be spoken of
Daughter on cassette beneath your vinyl of Tapestry
And now your fate is shattered glass written all over me.
Spoken or not, you knew me and all of my wonders
We talked about the boy who lived under the covers
We fought over which man would stand with us when it thundered
When I show up to your room with a faint smile
You would have already stocked up on tissue, enough to absorb the River Nile.
Alive or not, you still know me, better than anyone
Even when I am standing on top of you, six feet apart
If I left with you, would we ride around town?
Or would you still tell me to stay back with a smile instead of a frown?
