Or, that time in the early autumn in that one, red park
everything else everywhere was green as yet, but there the trees had turned
it was the only place for miles with the sun falling on it and no one was around


maybe the time you surprised me with a roadtrip to the ocean for no reason
we told each other's parents we were at each other's houses and it took them the better part of two days to notice
but then we said oh, we went to sam's, sorry we forgot to tell you

but we were drinking wine on the beach and watching the stars come out and sleeping in your car



maybe the time we crashed that afterparty on the roof of the hilton


maybe the time the power was out all day in the summer and we lied around in our underwear smoking pot and eating ice cubes



or maybe it was one of those other times i was only alive in that moment, and not being swept out to sea by the past
you ar ea riptide and i miss you something awful still
everything is beautiful but i just remember sometimes, is all.
