Charlottesville
Do you remember the time we sat together on that sinking couch during the storm?
It was in the lobby, and I was wet.
Little did I know you weren't thinking of me.
I heard her words so confident, and I should have known you felt the same.
Because she said "I like him" and little did I know you touched her 3,000 feet up in the air.
I was torn like the lighting in the sky.
That night in Charlottesville could have been so beautiful And the phones weren't working so I took pictures of the falling, swirling, rain while the fire department came.
The alarms went off and I remember feeling sick and so distant on that couch. That damn fake antique.
A place trying to look so classy with its marble floors and all this time you were the filthy one.
I guess it was a perfect time to rain because it was like my soul crying. Such a happy time.
Maybe I shouldn't have gone up and sat alone in the big blue chair because during that time you were deciding if you were going to leave me, which you ended up doing.
I suppose that's why you barely said I word on that fuckin sinking (and now damp) couch.
If only I knew what you were hiding from me.
That night.. I remember... We ate at the Italian place and met a comedian in the girl's room.
I'll never forget the storm, and what you did to me.
I wont forget Charlottesville
