Chair.
I remember you back then
sitting close to me, in my arms
in the twilight of the morn, as you
smoked your cigarette
and we held each other close
under a sky of fading stars.

Your pink hair, dyed and re-dyed,
my lack of sleep, my reddened eyes.
Such simplicity and peace your eyes,
I thought, I don't deserve this.
You're hear and you love me, but it's
just a matter of time till you wake up
just a matter of time till we break up
when in a moment you realize I'm worthless.

then I'll think of you every time
I see a girl in bright pink hair
I hear a song by Sublime or I even
think of punk rock or California
every time I see a movie with
Claire Danes in it, or turn on the
television to find reruns of
My-So-Called Life, every time
I play a game of pool or hear
about a Monnbeast.

I think about how you used to
always lick your lips
I remember how you used to
jump up and down when you got excited
I remember standing in the coffee shop that one day
and hearing that song Runaway, Runaway,
you were the bright sun that lit up
the darkest of my darkest days
and that day, it hasn't ended yet, my dear,
I haven't chanegd and you're no longer here,
only in dreams, only as a voice on the telephone
that makes me smile broad and wide,
only in rare visits from your new life so far away
and I can't help but think about what
could've been what never was, like always,
and I keeping thinking, maybe someday,
maybe someday...

And I remember you back then
as I sit here holding me in my own arms
in the twilight of the morn, as I
smoke my cigarette, and I recall
when we held each other close
and in the sky I see a falling star...

well-said chrissy!

and as for that amazingly poignant reminder of loving and losing, Rewiiired, you're great!

every line I read made me think of similar things with my ex and that sort of feeling and although I've since moved past the someday point, I still treasure that smile that sneaks up on me when I hear songs we used to love.

thanks for sharing man!

this is wonderful. this is my favorite type of post to read. thoughts and memories specific to the person.
 
omg i love this.

i am listening to 3 Doors Done -- Here Without You as i read this. it kind of made me think about our very own Loveyouwithaknife (the hair, and being punk, and the object of her eternal captivation -- my friend ryan) but what it comes down to is that everyone looks back from time to time and you might not remember all the major things, but you remember the important things -- the little things -- the things that made the relationship meaningful to you....
like in this stanza
Your pink hair, dyed and re-dyed,
my lack of sleep, my reddened eyes.
Such simplicity and peace your eyes,
I thought, I don't deserve this.
You're hear and you love me, but it's
just a matter of time till you wake up
just a matter of time till we break up
when in a moment you realize I'm worthless.
i dont know.. something about that... just so honest and real.
 
oh my gosh. oh my gosh.

So E-girl, you also were thinking the same thing.


By the time I got to the second paragraph,
I was already invisioning me....
5 years from now
sitting in some swanky Los Angeles apartment
opening an envelop I had found in my mailbox
that [someone] must have mailed a few days ago.
My pink hair dyed and redyed every week,
to keep it's obnoxious brightness.
And I laughed thinking about the pillows,
on your bed in [your] mother's house
that were stained pink too.


This seriously grabbed me. I literally was dragged into this one so much.
Excellent.
