​Grabbing a quick bite with you

You texted and called and called again

And when I finally woke up later in the day

The sun was starting to set already

And I remembered all the sheets and blankets

The mountains of laundry I needed to clean

Since mom wet the bed after she fell

And falling asleep is my go to way to cope

I hope this won’t make me smell too bad

I wash my hands and jump in the van

And man I am flying down the rock salt road

To pick you up and grab dinner at our favorite restaurant

And flirt with the waiter

And avoid drinking

And being kind to ourselves and to each other.
