(no subject)
I wrote this back in 2003 and it seems jarringly appropriate now. I've been so unproductive this weekend. How could I get stuff done when the weather is so nice outside??
"I want to write
And you’ll write back
I want to talk
And you’ll listen
I want to call
And you’ll be there
I want to cry
And it’ll be your shoulder that’s there
But
I write
And you don’t
I talk
And you don’t listen
I call
And you’re not there
I cry
And there’s no shoulder
Remember when you said you’d never hurt me?
Remember when you said you wanted this to last a long time?
Remember when everyone told me not to do it?
My heart said go for it
And I did
And now I hurt
And it didn’t last a long time
I guess my heart lied
People don’t change,
Do they?
Did you think it wouldn’t hurt?
Half of me says you’re a jerk
Half of me still loves you
I just want to know one thing:
How could you do this to someone you cared about?
Better yet, did you ever care about me?"
