and today behind the mask it was you all over again

we were younger then but i still remember it was always
september it was always
snowing it was always

last year in a greyhound bus station and you asking me to

	go		the  other        way

... I want you to know something.

	walla walla
				washington
							we

were in love, at least (she kept clasping and letting go)
while you wept, and slept, and  (b r e  a th  e   d  ... )


	but the truth is its just one voice playing over itself.

(i am crying and if you can’t see it is because you aren’t looking)

	she broke something. he took something out and didn’t put it back.

(i’m sick of saving myself)  

	it was over so quickly there wasn’t time to smoke a cigarette afterwards

(i don’t like telling myself what to do)

	you don’t know how to say anything with out saying it too loud.

		
				. . .it never felt like an ending. . .
