lyrics

This year when all my hangouts for safety’s sake had to cease, reflecting on the fade outs with so many friends through years.

We never had a fallout, and though always self-critique,
don’t think I fucked up and their glow persists from off screen.

Like you, my dear friend, who I met on Halloween.
You a doll, who was I? Oh, “heat miser” they call me.
Numbers we exchanged. So obvious, why delay.
You worked six straight days, yet found time for a movie.

I took Sun Tran to east side where we saw Science of Sleep.
You joked I’d have to walk home then gave me a ride downtown.

I poked the door to check if locked.
You asked, “Open magically?”
Your green eyes closed, then I turned key.
Door creaked, you looked to see.

Now upstairs, extended words and smiles a bit longer.
Timing’s on our side: Took two years, I get a car.

Lived far from downtown. Run into was unlikely.
Phone talks till next meet, at your house near Triple T.

So good to have a friend apart from drama-party scene.
We watched '08 debates while I pet Finnegan, at ease.

And wow how much it meant to see your smile through stage light glare. Weird singing elevated, but at home with you out there.

Who knows why? Down I-10? We lose touch, and then years pass.
Don’t matter who called last. All that counts: You’re the best.

Regrets? I have lots. To hang out more, wish I’d tried.
Maybe, hear this song, learn you never left my mind.

Songs always have an ending, can be fading or sudden.
In hearts we’re friends forever at eternal peak level.
