maypirateIt's been weighing on me all day, and now I'm lying on the floor in the basement with Oni, the only part of our house that doesn't feel like hell, and I can't sleep and this song keeps reeling through my head and it's Guster and it goes
One of us won't last the night
Between you and me it's no surprise
There's two of us, both can't be right
Neither will move til it's over
And I know it's trite, but it reminds me of us. It has so many times.
And my head hurts and I'm tired and I saw the words before they were locked to me and I can't and I won't, not anymore but not this moment, I'm waiting until daylight because I have to last.
When I realized they had the same birthdays, I wanted to laugh.
And when tomorrow comes I'll let it all go, and I swear in the morning I'll live not unchanged, as if I were no wiser, even now.
Even now.
This has not been the most thrilling week of my life.
