the tragedy

the irony hit me the second i saw you
when i realized
that you are what i've been looking for
that you are what i've needed
and now i can't have you.
that the many boys who have loved me
were maybe seeing that same irony in me
when i walked into a room.
that they can't take your place for me.
that no one can.

but you're leaving tomorrow.
another month on the road and then back to california
sun and sand and bleached blonde girls in string bikinis
i miss it so much
i miss you so much
i tried.
that's about all i can say.

i would like to tell you
in so many words as this
the things that i couldn't tell you
between the "i love yous" and "views" i have to look at.
i wanted to tell you that whatever you do
you could never make me hurt anymore than you already
have.
