What a Waste

To my goodbye

I stood and stared at the gate

But you didn’t come out

Did you want me to just wait?

Well -- I just sobered up, but I guess I didn’t get the clue

So I followed after you

What a waste of my boundless giddy gait

Do you remember what I always told you?

You don’t choose who you fall in love with

But who you stay in love with.

Skinny dipping in drizzled april daylight

Sad handjobs in a deep blue subaru

It was love for me

Was it love for you?

Oh I do love you so

In time I’ll let go

Should have been months ago

What a waste of my boundless giddy gait
