Growth

I have been careful for all of my years

I tried not to move too much of your hair

Did you find it endearing?

Hesitance so sincere

But you treated me like a company jet

Took me a few times on luxurious spins

Cashed in on amenities, and bragged to your friends

But it’s not like they care

They’re so wrapped in themselves

Like the news stand on Hillhurst

All the gossip and wealth

You’re so used to the ignorance of the apathetic

Each time I come home

I still look for my dog

It’s a force of old habit

It’s not that I forgot

For a second I’m alright

'Till I realize she’s gone

I guess being an adult is just being alone

I’ll go back to the couch, let you stare at your phone

We’ll pretend this is normal

We’ll pretend this is growth

Uh, let me do one more
