It was between women's studies and philosophy
that I could see the whites of his eyes.
-when you interrupted he was right there.
You couldn't have timed my wait with that precision without help.
And I feel like blaming it on the moon.
It has always been a playa' in the discord of my chi.
It has always been a playa' in the discord of my chi.
So I spoke of life as though you were no longer part of it.
And in some awkward string of syllables you said you were sorry.
But I knew you weren't. Not really.
And in some awkward string of syllables you said you were sorry.
But I knew you weren't. Not really.
And like it always was -if your timing had been better, we may have made good of it.
But we didn't.
But we didn't.
We danced around with formality.
Never pinning down the moment.
Never pinning down the moment.
