Black Tie Event

"I never liked parties

I never liked parties until

You went to a party and

Then I started to really like

Parties

I'm getting ahead of myself again.

I can't remember when I first saw you,

Just kidding

I used to pretend that I didn't so I

Didn't seem as desperate but I

Don't see much of I point to that

Now.

You were standing by the kitchen table,

Your arm was propped up by Joey Stevenson

You'd laugh about that now,

His eyes were probably parading around

Up and down your ribcage

While I watched you twirl your

Messy braided hair around your fingertips.

Us,

We were wild, well

You were wild

I kind of just followed your trail

Of cigarettes and wine bottles.

All I knew is wherever you were going

I needed to be there too,

You could drain my cheeks

And electrify my heart beat

Just by walking into a room

You were the only kind of hurricane I could touch.

I remember the day you

Left for college, we

Sat behind your purple four door

Convertible and talked about

Why we couldn't change the world,

That was the day I fell in love with you,

Or the day I realized it at least

I loved you wickedly, and

Selfishly

Because

The only time

You ever heard me say it,

Was now."

I picked up the pieces of

Myself and made my way

Through the pews.

This was not how I wanted

You to see me

In my suit.
