i like looking at pictures of you from before i knew you.
do you remember that april night? on the little sidestreets between 4th and 5th ave, most of the little houses were dark or had their shades drawn, but i stopped and peered in the wide bright windows of the few and far between.
i said, "nothing pleases me as much as imagining people before i met them."
in my car, in the colder months, we listened to that song over and over: i cherish, with fondness, the day (before) i met you.
to my right, on the sidewalk, you half-laughed. said: "i was happier then."
i like seeing those pictures because they show me you weren't lying.
i just wish i didn't make you so goddamned sad.
