i am looking through your music
albums you’ve curated
tailoring them to fill my fantasy of you.

it would be easier to decieve myself with anyone else.

and has been for a while now.

its definitely not me,
but i like to think it is
after all, i did spend one august with you
and it was very sweet

    but i spent a while 
    hidden in the knowledge
    of your pain
    as if i could have somehow known
    before he told me
