But Movies Can Rewind
I can't go to the movies anymore
that one time we were together
that other time that we weren't
but you reminded me how you were
several seats back
you sat with your drink
your drink that you brought in your pocket
and you laughed so hard
at all the funny parts
and you told him about how
once last summer we came here together
"we saw a movie remember"
and i remembered
the movie, the car ride
how we almost kissed
and how your breath stank that last night
that night you reminded me
of all those other nights
that you'd say something similar
that you'd get too close
but i cant go to those movies anymore
because you can't remember
because you know all too well
because lines were crossed
while cars still whizzed by
