forrest

i drove by your house at the tally green saw the garage door open the sandalwood between saw the stolen mileage sign pressed against the brick and i knew it was you

i thought maybe you’d miss me too

i drove by your house where you wanted to embrace but i always needed space where you would call me from bed but i’d just let it ring to test how much you really loved me

i thought maybe you'd forget

i drove by your house beyond the acrylic green saw signs pro-lgbt the pool we so often kissed between saw your room through the glass bebop scrolled as i passed and i knew it was you

i thought maybe you’d sense me too

i drove by your house where you were so shy but i forced you to be bold where your hair was crazy and dyed but if it was wrong i was cold where you claimed i was the love of your life but i would pretend to leave to test how much you really loved me

i drove by your house at the tally green saw the glass door baby’s breath between that i had left there years ago but you said no
