4 years and 30 grand later

Delicious, at least to the taste,

erase, any prior knowledge,

won't be difficult when you return to high school while still paying for college.



My collage, is still hanging in your room at "home,"

but the door has rarely been opened since we both left tenth grade alone.



We'll get back to that after the due date,

after the court date,

there will be no apologies for being late.



It's fate, that we begin here and ended somewhere else,

without any greater wealth,

of knowledge,

and now we're returning to high school in college.



And sure, I've got my 30 grand piece of paper,

four years of emotional debt later,

and yeah, I miss her,

and yeah, I wish her...the best.



For where we're both headed,

premium or unleaded,

we'll use it to burn all bridges,

you'll find a new Mr. and me a new Mrs..



This is my recollection of car-wrecked affections,

just pick through the debris,

find me,

pick me up and point me in the right direction.



Under suspicion for pain endured,

but thankfully we've both learned,

and settled out of court,

and we're both happy to report,

that we're both better for it.



Or at least that's my claim,

and I'm stickin' to my story,

and after being bruised and maimed,

I'll lay out in the sun to bask in all your glory.



But not without plenty of SPF,

not until these windy days hae left,

not until no one's mad that you've once again over slept,

quick! grab the net.



And I'll reel this one in, maybe it's a keeper,

maybe she'll expect me to pay in an attempt to get me to need her,

I'm getting a high fever,

cause this new girl makes me sick,

she forgets my name and doesn't know a single one of your tricks.



But I'm willing to take that risk,

at least for a time,

and I'll give and give and give until someone else is mine,

But until I find,

that which I seek,

I'll be taking this day by day and week by week.



Speak, now or forever hold your peace,

never to old to remain bitter towards me,

don't buy just anything the next guy tells you, but I'll help you finance a lease.



Just sign on the dotted space,

and in 6-8 weeks a smile should arrive on your face,

and from the taste,

you'll smirk,

you'll miss all of my tricks and quirks,

but not when I was your one and only jerk, or took you for granted,

how you gave and gave and gave and I left you empty handed.



Undestand that, I've had better intentions,

and of course there were things that I failed to mention,

maybe you missed the fine print,

you're not required to crawl on your hands and knees, you need to sprint.



Around and around in circles until you're dizzy,

until you can't think straight, just until you miss me.

Dharmagrl, you took the words right out of my mouth.

This is simply amazing.

I could just eat you alive.
