A little fissure explodes a puppy at the door
you know me I know you Hello hello hello

I would not say we were friends
We also were not not friends

So it is strange to see you at a party
remembering the time and time and time before

When we were younger and it was scandalous
to even party or have beer in our small hands

The precipice of so many decisions
the modest obstacle of taking a major

the trepidation over what I wore
Was is it good enough? still lingers

We’ve made it from someplace to here
the thirty-something apartment landscape

This is no small miracle this is now
with new modest obstacles we do not yet know to be modest

How are you and how did you make
all of those decisions that left us spinning here?

How is your ex? Are they married
with children? Are you reading my face for regret?

Did you think me better than him anyway?
Or he than me? Are you wondering if I am happy?

I am hoping you are I feel proud you seem to be
I have no right to feel this pride

but you are so one piece solid strong
I want you to be everyone’s story

still smiling the same way
with a beautiful lady on your arm

Thank you world
for delivering us

to this Hello
to these agains and again
