You're So Warm (Where You Are Not)
It is in that box, with that wild curtain
Which was just one large tapestry sheet
I know you are not there
But when I remember you it is always there
Next to the cemetery
When I remember you, I remember me
I remember my time without you
And I remember talking for hours
In a little taco place, downtown
Drank a lot of fancy grapefruit drinks
And congratulated a man on his marriage
If I moved, I would move there
Not for you, but more so for those grapefruit drinks
I want to wander drunk still
Midday, past the climbing place
But I remember your friends
And I don't like them much
They were uninviting, cold
Which was odd to me (you're so warm)
But reminded me of high school
I am only so much
So when you move, somewhere else
It is inevitable
I will move there to fill the space where you are not
I will move in there to live
To live at least a little.
