Tomorrow

No time to borrow

A smile

A kiss


Tomorrow

I'm late

I'm distant

But I'm missed?


How long does it take?

How many "goodbyes" will make

you realize

I'm not worth the time


You're not mine

To take

I'm not yours

I'm fake


I'm something to you

I can't be for myself


I'm nothing new

I'm just playing

Someone else


Eyeshadow

lipstick

Lyfts

No bus tickets


Martinis

Champagne

Steak nights

All the same


Who am I to say

You've got the check

But, am I here to stay?


It's hard to relay

Imposters at bay


I miss my flip flops

Modelo

& Hollywood plays


Do I like this new me?

Will I stick around to see?


But wait,


It's not about me


Now there's you

And your shiny shoes

And your perfect hair


Blow dryers

underwear on hangars

C'mon now


That's not fair


Raise a glass, cheers

but let's be real

Why are we here?


You're times new roman

I'm helvetica


You're stocks and bonds

I am theoretical


I'm bicycles and popsicles

You're Maseratis and fancy parties


This is the obvious

No time to be oblivious

No room ignorance


We're opposites

That's not hard to see


Where do we go from here?

Are you gonna stop this,

or will it be me?
