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
