Poppy Pov

I guess I can't believe you really came
And that we're sitting on this pier
See, I'm smiling
That means I'm happy that you're here

I stole this sweater from the costume shop
It makes me look like Daisy Mae
See, we're laughing
I think we're gonna be okay

I mean, we'll have to try a little harder
And bend things to and fro
To make this love as special
As it was five years ago
I mean, you made it to Ohio!
Who knows where else we can go?

I think you're really gonna like this show
I'm pretty sure it doesn't suck
See, you're laughing, and I'm smiling
By a river in Ohio
And you're mine
We're doing fine

Poppy Pov

You know what makes me crazy?
I'm sorry, can I say this?
You know what makes me nuts?
The fact that we could be together here together
Sharing our night, spending our time
And you are gonna choose someone else to be with no, you are
Yes, Jamie, that's exactly what you're doing
You could be here with me or be there with them
As usual, guess which you pick!

No, Jamie, you do not have to go to another party
With the same twenty jerks you already know
You could stay with your wife on her fucking birthday
And you could, God forbid, even see my show
And I know in your soul it must drive you crazy
That you won't get to play with your little girlfriends
No I'm not, no I'm not and the point is, Jamie
That you can't spend a single day
That's not about you and you and nothing but you
Marvelous novelist, you!
Isn't he wonderful, just twenty-eight!
The savior of writing!
You and you and nothing but you
Miles and piles of you
Pushing through windows and bursting through walls en route to the sky!
And I

I swear to God I'll never understand
How you can stand there, straight and tall
And see I'm crying
And not do anything at all
