I cried these big salty stupid tears Almost the entire time I talked to you. Clutching the phone in one hand And watching black mascara run down my fingers (Realizing that I must look like some strung-out panda) As I just sat there And tried to fight some words through the tears. Telling you In a newly-borrowed Georgia accent that I’m “sure crazy about you,” (When I really wanted to tell you that I love you But knowing that “crazy about you” Probably scared you enough.) You tell me that it “must be nice to just let your heart go” the way I do. (We’re both so shattered and scarred By love.) And you say that you just don’t know how long it will Take you to be able to love again “like normal people do.” I tell you that most “normal people” are pretty overrated anyway. (You laugh, and I realize that even your laugh has a little drawl.) I tell you that I am here If you decide you want to find me And you say you might, but you can’t promise anything. All I can say is that “I understand,” Because I do. And I bid you goodnight And go to bed dreaming of a reality Where you lie next to me And we both fall fast asleep. |
