no time like

why'd she run away?
because walking wasn't fast enough for her
it's fine though
he thinks about things he knows he should have said yesterday
makes futile attempts at them now
not knowing how
but guessing that saying things backwards might do the trick
it really is magic
trying to spit out years worth of honesty in reverse order
somebody's bound to be turned into a toad
it's gotta be her
he already is one
oh well
there's a train leaving ten minutes ago that he really should be trying to catch
that's just like him
taking the easy way out...
he'll be croaking out "i'm about to say something i didn't mean"
if his dreams ever did come true
until earlier, he's stuck with "i loved you"
