When We Were Young

  when we were young
  well I'm not sure if you ever were
  you taught me what love was
  and I have been busy unlearning ever since
  I eat oatmeal alone
  and when people talk
  I wish that they were you
  so that they were saying something that you would say
  I see your mirage on the street like every afternoon
  and my friends
  when they leave me
  I think how it could never be as bad as when you left
  and my friends
  when they are disappointed in me
  I think how it could never be as disappointed as you were
  with me
