The classic request, "Can we still be friends"
and I replied, "No"
I wouldn't mind if we could maintain a little anger
at one another though
Each referring to being with the other as one big
bad decision
Each regarding the other with cold contempt and
bombastic derision
Telling family and friends what fools we'd been
to ever bother
Wasting even one precious minute of our lives
on one another
Can't we just throw all the pictures and ticket stubs
into a roaring fire
And watch with delight as the flames exorcise
any residual desire
You can claim I never, ever really wanted to spend
any time with you
I will tell my buddies at the bar you were
smothering me blue
We both can state the other was impossible to live with
Go ahead and tell everyone you know, I could
never apologize
I will claim I got tired of catching you again and again
in so many lies
Years from now we'll both be able to cooly
look back and say
There is at least one person we will never miss
in any way
No one will ever need to know we were really happy for that one week
