three years, three months, eight days

january twenty-first
underneath the milky way
in the woods with the hippies
i fell in love with you.

june fifteenth, 1996
i figured the first time
that i left you'd find
someone to replace me.

late september that same year
i suppose i was surprised
to find you hadn't changed
your mind about me.

the next two years
were some of the best
times of my life
with you.

sometime in the past eight months
i guess you forgot that
you used to love me.
the past few days...

it's been hard to sleep.
every minute seems like torture.
i look at a photo of you
and i can't forget
the last three years, three months, eight days.
i don't want to forget...

i only want you.

earlier this year my girlfriend decided we needed to take a break. the break only ended up lasting a few days, but that was one of the most emo times of my life. because i think life is simply about relationships, i guess. the other most emo time was when happythoughts broke up the first time, and maybe the second time too. it's just that the few people i let into my world are the people that mean the most. so it hurts the most when *they* want to leave. that's what this song is about. it hurt to know that my girlfriend wanted to be with someone else. it hurt to remember what we had. i thought all the time we spent together was something special enough to want to continue. in the end i guess i was right.
