Hobbes

Then just like that, you came in from the rain
You'd changed your hair but your eyes were the same
We exchanged words 'bout our lives and our jobs
You'd bought a house and a tabby named Hobbes

We parted ways but I thought of you still
Went home and found our disposable film
One where we're laughing and looking away
Somewhere downtown on a blossoming day in May

Here in my memory, we’re still so young

Last time I saw you, so strung out and white
High off the pills you were taking each night
I didn’t know but could see in your eyes
The hatred and pain you were feeling inside

If memory serves, we were 16 years old
Just as naive as the stories we told
We shared CDs, clothing, and poetry
Now that I’m older, they're special to me and you

Here in this picture, we were so young
