Apple Juice and Vodka

[AisforApple]

You never seem to be around when I need you
I'm always missing your calls
From Minnesota...or was it Michigan?
Toronto, Indianapolis, Saint Louis
I never know where you are
I'm either in class or in bed when you're there

I guess I kind of miss you

And I do always miss you when you're gone
It's when you're here
Just four floors above my head
That I wish you'd leave me alone
You wake me up far too early
To to go to museums that aren't open yet
Or you wake me up far too late
To go to restaurants that closed hours ago

I don't really remember our conversations

I know we talk a lot, we talk too much, really
About very serious, very trivial things
Like how neither one of us likes our job
How we're always aware that we're dying
How I can never afford my own movie tickets

Which movie did we watch last weekend?

Oh, yeah, that one.
You made me dinosaur egg oatmeal
We drank apple juice and vodka and watched Lolita
You walked in the room while Dolores Haze was hula-hooping
And proclaimed "This is a dirty movie!"
So we talked about sex instead, which was much more wholesome

We met while we were crossing the street

Then we met at a party
You got really drunk and tried to kiss me
Then immediately and earnestly apologized
We met at a few parties after that
We decided to be friends
We went to Wrigley Field and to the aquarium and to the river
We picked up pizza on our way back home
We were too hungry, so we just sat on the sidewalk and ate it

It was a Tuesday

I love that the only food you like is mac and cheese from the box,
Day-old Chinese food,
And Trader Joe's baby carrots
I love that you close your eyes every time you smile,
You laugh with your hands over your face,
Your eyes widen when you raise your voice,

You wait outside with me while I smoke a cigarette

I love your camera
I love the Thai dragonfruit air freshener you use in your room
I love that you have type one diabetes,
because my dad has type one diabetes, too
All the good men do
