Maybe in a couple years, we said
I guess I held onto that longer than I should have.
Nothing's fundamentally wrong, I've just been here too long.
And I hope you stowed all my pictures and notes away
So they might resurface someday when you move in with him, and you might reminisce and say
"These are from a boy I used to see, he was always quite sweet to me."
From when the pre-assembled truths of your shoulda-been-vagabond youth left you sitting complacent at home.
I guess you needed some time to roam.
And I remember how we began and ended with why? And I tried to be graceful in the ending. But what is grace in the face of the fickle, empty, impossible promise of always?
What is always when all we have is time?

Happiness

Happiness is sometimes an impossible choice, but a choice nonetheless, and I have a lot of problems that can be summed up as a lack of self discipline.
Even before I got to love you, in my introverts bedroom I imagined your solitary, wild daydreams; hibiscus reds and Persian greens, clementine skies and cobalt seas.
And if I ever make the mistake of declaring myself unhappy, know that I am simply discouraged, just for the moment, as even I know happiness is final.

You don't take into account
The problem of routine
Which is simply that it doesn't take into account
The problem of routine.
Quiet, unremarkable, well-ordered, well-lit
It seems impossibly good,
Like stock footage of a beautiful day.
But it gets to you, if you let it.
Old grief competes with life
There is always something to be regretted, but nowhere to reasonably fix the blame
How are you supposed to look out for me if you can't see past yourself?
Where did you go, blurry girl at the end of my nose?
Of all the seconds it could've been it was this one. This exact second.
Cascading into the sea, whipped into a breaking blue-green foam.
But like I said, I'm at a point in my life where I may have the time and resources to say "I'm okay, and I've been okay long enough that I can really start considering whether or not I'm happy."

Troubles
No troubles
On the line
And I can't stand to see you
I can't stand to see you
when you're crying at home
Scotch and penicillin
Please try Carlton
A cold, black maple hanger
And husbands on the run
I just got back from a dream attack
That took me by surprise
And in there I met a lady
Her name was Shady Sides
And she said:
It's been evening all day long
It's been evening all day long and
How can something so old be so wrong
Sin and gravity
Drag me down to sleep
To dream of trains across the sea
Trains across the sea
Half hours on earth
What are they worth
I don't know
In twenty-seven years
I drunk fifty thousand beers
And they just wash against me
Like the sea into a pier
