Only Relevant To a Little Group of People

See, I'm not surprised
I kind of expected her to speak your language.
I know, you know, I once did too.

I can't write since you left,
You know, it was hard hearing her
Say all that, like a cherry on top.

Speaking of cherries,
Do you remember the taste of my lips?
Or does 'fruity' still make you nauseous?

Do I regret coming out to you?
Didn't you say you don't know her that well?
But does she know about me?

You didn't tell her, did you?
All of it? I know, I didn't either.
She reminded me of myself.

You sure do have a type!
You know, I know a person,
He likes fishing a lot.

So what he does, after catching the fishes
And having them on his hook for a while,
He lets them go, and the fishes bleed.

But at least, he doesn't kill them!
Right?
You see, he doesn't eat fish.

They aren't his preferred species-
(You know what I mean-)
Well, thanks to you, now I know two of you.

Give her a tight hug from me,
Soon, your abandonment issues will slap her away.
Let her know when her time's up,

Together we'll postmortem your baits-
