please let me have this. 

let us smile and nod and pretend we never broke each other's hearts.

i'll laugh at your quips and you can listen to my stories,

we can sit there and enjoy the warmth, remember the inside jokes 

and all the times we tried to stitch ourselves back together.

there's no need to voice it, we ran out of words months ago

but nobody knows so we still sit together, an unlucky accident

that would've had us blushing last february, a twist of fate

that i no longer catalogue as cruel.

the night will fall, the bottles will empty, we'll say goodbye

and it won't be the painful grand exit it once was.

we will wish each other luck and

this time we will leave in one piece.

- all i can think about when i see you.
