Remember when we first met?
You said “light my cigarette”
So I lied to my mom and dad
I jumped the fence and I ran
But we couldn’t go very far
Because you locked your keys in your car
So I sat and stared at you lips
I could already feel your kiss
Long nights, daydreams
Sugar and smoke rings,
I’ve been a fool
But strawberries and cigarettes
Always taste like you
Headlights on me
Racing to 6th Street-
You invented
I’ve been an idiot
I should have loved you before you died
Instead of trying out these guys
Blue eyes, black jeans
Lighters and candy,
I’ve been a fool
Strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you
Remember when you taught me fate?
Said it’d all be worth the wait
Like that night in the back of the cab
When your fingers walked into my hand
The next day–
Nothing on my phone.
Fucked you.
She did.
But you were all over on my clothes,
And always hoping things would change
But we went right back to our chess games
Long nights & daydreams
with ring lights and smoke rings
Headlights on me
Racing to 6th Street-
You invented
I’ve been an idiot
I should have loved you before you died
Instead of trying out these guys
Headlights, on me– even if I run away
Racing to 6th street. I gave my heart to you.
Still, strawberries and cigarettes always taste like–
Your blue eyes & black jeans
Zippo lighters & candy
I’ve been a fool.
Strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you.
Timothee.
