about

It was you the sun shone on
You in rays of light
You that stretched the night long
You on a short ride

You 8 inches tall
You cut down to size
You that made yourself small
Just to see me up high

It was me an echelon
Lower on a dime
Me a sudden drop off
So that you don't have to climb

Me a crowded hall
Me a face to find
Me I guess by default
For not being there the whole time

Back then, you were all encompassing
I'd drown in the moment
Crossing my legs on the bench
I took a video on my phone
I guess that every time I watch
It feels like I havent moved an inch
I'm reminded that it's different

You thought growing up
Would make the world less big
But days are always circling
And it's not like when we were kids

You laying on the lawn
My mom smoking cigs
Swearing that she'd quit
She never all the way did

Me I'm 25
A quarter through with it
Burn holes in the sky
I wonder if you're peaking in

Me humming your life
A song for everything
Me wishing you were right
And that the world had stopped at 10
