I’m coming out of a house party 
You’re inexplicably working security 
At a club that will close in a month 
I order myself to stop recognizing you 
And for a second I think maybe it isn’t you
I used to think I saw you all the time 
Nope. There is it. An imperceptible pulse along your jaw
That would probably go unnoticed by someone else 
So, it’s you. 
This is how it goes : 
You can’t imagine someone leaving your life until you can’t imagine how they became a part of it in the first place. 
This is how it goes.
