You were understated, a mutual friend.
I was thinking lately, when will we begin to look like someone we know?
Like someone so bold.
The houses that I go by look tired on the outside.
The person that I realize, lively on the inside.
Like someone I know,
Like someone a stone’s throw away.
You look a little jaded, but you don’t say it aloud.
Happy dear belated, I missed your birthday about three or four days ago.
Wherever I’m standing, I’m cold.
Half in my memory, half in my head.
Part of you with me, part of me dead.
If I meant to be a weekday friend, I probably would’ve held this in.
No one likes how it feels running on slow kills,
And I’m not so sure we belong here.
