do i ever cross your mind
still / do you ever / think about me / like not nice / not soft / just there / in the middle / of doing the laundry / or getting groceries / or when you’re stopped / at the light at sycamore & liberty / just before milton / do you ever hate / that you remember my voice / do you ever say my name / out loud / or just whisper / in your head / do you ever / almost / call me / then remember / you left / that first time / it was me / that left / the second & third times / do you ever miss me / do you ever tell our story / like i ruined everything / because maybe i did / because maybe you did too / do you ever write yourself as the villain / do you remember / that one night / we couldn’t keep our hands off each other / like it would fix the whole damn thing / you remember / we knew it was already over / do you remember the geometric pattern on the linens / the cold concrete floor / the windows too big / the pillows too many / us pretending we weren’t already gone / do you ever think / about my hands / do you ever wonder / if i still know the shape / of you in the dark / the hollow of your neck / the curve of your spine / the bend of your knee / do you ever hear a song / & have to turn it off / do you ever drive past somewhere / & slow down / & don’t really know why / you do / do you look at old photos / especially the polaroids from that summer / when i lived on central / we spent so much time on the roof / counting stars / & do you ever think we look like people / who hadn’t been told yet / waiting / & waiting / do you ever make me worse in your head / so you don’t have to miss me / do you ever make me better / & then wonder about that too / do you ever forgive me / & then take it back / do you ever wonder / if i’m lying / when i say i’m fine / do you ever wonder / if i’m telling the truth /
