Frequent Crier

You made my mom a scarf

Just like the one you made for me

It’s just like you to keep us warm

Even after I up and leave

I can’t remember when I last slept in my own bed

And I’m paying up for it in way more ways than rent

Catch me crying in the shower (how’s your day been?)

Crying in a traffic jam (how was your drive?)

Crying in the break room hoping no one else comes in

I bet your friends are thrilled

They don’t have to hear you go on

About another girl who’s great

But Boston’s still too damn far away

I know mine are over it

They’ve been rolling their eyes since

We nearly kissed in Ilana’s backyard

So I mailed you a book and a birthday card

Now I’m crying in the shower (how’s your day been?)

Crying in a traffic jam (how was your drive?)

Crying in the break room hoping no one else comes in

Crying into my fridge (are you eating?)

Crying at my own birthday (are you happier yet?)

Crying over every picture of your cat you send

Crying into my plate

At a Mexican place in Maine

Cause you won’t let me pay you back for a vacation I didn’t take

And it’s been two years to the day

Sick of crying in the shower

Crying in a traffic jam

Crying in the bathroom when you asked me how’ve I’ve been

Crying into my fridge

Crying cause I’m leaving again

Crying when you told me I would still be your best friend

And I can’t do this again
