on a perfect afternoon
|
thinking you would be there soon
|
by the evening time
|
it was obvious you were no longer mine
|
|
you should have written, you might have called
|
you should have never led me on at all
|
but you were always a few days ahead of me
|
and there was always someone else instead of me
|
instead of me
|
|
sitting perfectly still
|
barely fighting off the chill
|
feeling cold, feeling dumb
|
it was becoming clear that you wouldn't come
|
|
you should have written, you might have called
|
you should have never made this plan at all
|
but you were always a few days ahead of me
|
and there was always someone else instead of me
|
instead of me
|
