Blink and you miss it, Forever etched on my mind, Cut my tongue in an instant , I became an avox at your mere sight, I squeeze my eyes but the mirage is still there, Why do you refuse to leave my side does your ghost still haunts my house? Your presence petrified me, How can Miami be so cold in March?
And so it goes, I heard your voice, It was your last day being twenty three years old, A newcomer in this ghost messy town, Since I’m older, may I be your guide in this messy swamp?
Celebratory beers, a lost weekend on a winning Tuesday night. All the neurons inside my brain deserted me, At the time, all of this seemed like a good plan, Not gonna lie, I only pretended to fight it, I was all in before the plan hatched and became alive.
Drinking at the bar, the night became hazy, Piece by piece, the puzzle solidified. Then we walked back home, Washington Avenue was deserted right before dawn, Or was it crowded? Like I said, it was all a blur. Maybe it was wrong, but it felt glorious divine, our fingers intertwined.
And as it goes, Your accent was unintelligible, I just nodded along, A young man leaving his mark in the world, Is your legacy being a fuckboy?
Celebratory beers, a lost weekend on a winning Tuesday night. All the neurons inside my brain deserted me, At the time, all of this seemed like a good plan, Not gonna lie, I only pretended to fight it, I was all in before the plan hatched and became alive.
A decade has passed by, In my head, you’re still barely shy of twenty four, The memories have slowly faded, Time knocked on the door, how did we end up at the same pub? Something's different, now there are midgets wrestling in a dance, You were there but you were gone. We left together; I should have gone home.
Celebratory beers, a lost weekend on a winning Tuesday night. All the neurons inside my cerebellum deserted me, At the time, all of this seemed a flawless design. Not gonna lie, I only pretended to fight it, I was all in before the plan hatched and became alive.
I was all in before the plan was foiled and a different lie took flight.
I was all in before the plan derailed and you showed me your true cards.
