I haven't quit that habit
_____
Of keeping a message ready
That you're already alone
_____
I want you to know that I still exist
_____
'Hey, what's up?'
I, trusting that you remember
_____
Always calculating when to show up
_____
Seeing you dancing with somebody burns
With how fast you fall in love
_____
Tell me how you expect me to catch up to you
_____
Because when you cry, you cry
_____
Hours on a stranger's shoulder
_____
That showed up early to console you
_____
But I've been ready for three years
_____
My door never stayed shut
_____
Because our ending stayed open
_____
I never neglected your gaze
_____
A damn airport took it from me
_____
I know that you had plans to leave
_____
And that our future was uncertain
_____
But since I saw that you came back
_____
'Hey, what's up?'
I, trusting that you remember
_____
Always calculating when to show up
_____
And I always arrive late
_____
Seeing you dancing with somebody burns
_____
With how fast you fall in love
_____
Tell me how you expect me to catch up to you
_____
Because when you cry, you cry
_____
Hours on a stranger's shoulder
_____
That showed up early to console you
_____
But I've been ready for three years
_____
But since I saw that you came back
