The Despondent Minds

9:28

For Klein

The busy streets outside
Are muted by the music
We're far from fancy cafes
Stuck in fast food setting.

We both belong to provinces
At this time the cars are parked at home.
And if it were any other day
We'd be lying on our beds alone.

But we stole a little moment
And we took what we could get
We've got twenty minutes at McDonald's
To make memories we can't forget.

I think of the future
And it's filled with misery
Cause the only outcome I predict
Is of a friend far from me

I am irrationally jealous
Of all the new people you'll face
Anxiety dictates
One of them take my place

And it used to bother me
The way I could trust you
I'd found a genuine friend
In a world filled with fools.

But I have learned to let go
You can't force people to stay
And you can't force them to care
You simply cannot fight this fate

But I can treasure these minutes
They don't need to be intense
Conversations with you
Will stay long in my head

I won't tell you I love you
That your far more than a friend
It is unwise to start
Something that has to end

But I'll memorize this moment
And the smile in your face
We've created a happy memory
At 9:28.
