your area code changed which means you

really aren't coming back anytime soon

i think i miss you most of all

what about you?

i loved you once

(sometimes i still do)

what about you? did you ever love me?

i lied once

(sometimes i still do)

what about you? did you ever tell me the truth?

i believed you

(sometimes i still do)

what about you? did you really think i was nothing?

what about you, dad?

fuck you

no, dad, what about you?

fuck you

no, dad, what

about

you

?

happy father's day, padre.

momentary pessimism

this is all pretty disheartening

sure, we get the satisfaction of seeing each other

every seven months

but no matter how often we say hello, we'll just end up saying goodbye again.

people always leave.

sometimes they come back,

and sometimes

they don't.

and i know i'll soon regret this post and say

"it's worth the pain"

but now and then the smile sags and

you've just got to frown for a little while
