A Step Back

We agreed on coffee

at the corner place

I was wearing sweatpants and an unwashed face

Then you walked in holding roses,

looking pale and deep

With a look that told me I was in way too deep

And you said "I love you,

I have for all these years" (oh god) And I felt the

coffee turning into tears of dread No,

you're like a brother,

can we take a step back?

But you kept on talking,

completely off-track

You said you saw tension when we watched TV

I was literally sleeping,

you were next to me

You brought up a text from twenty-one weeks ago

It was just a meme of a depressed crow

And you said "I love you,

I have for all these years" (seriously?) And I felt the coffee

turning into tears of dread No,

you're like a brother,

can we take a step back?

But you kept on talking,

completely off-track

You asked if my brother is someone I'd kiss (ew) I said

"absolutely not, what kind of logic is this?" You stared at the

roses, the light left your eyes As you realized we weren't in

a franchise

So you took back the roses,

said you had to run

Left me with the check,

well that was lots of fun

I'll see you at Christmas,

bro (hahaha)
