Something Like That (I)
8/30/01

-Something like that,- he said.
-Something like manicotti
Sounds right.-
Though he knew her heart's desire,
Knew that it would be broken,
He knew.
-Something like that,- she said.
And that was all she wrote
For today.
Tomorrow her mind would change
Just as it had changed before;
She knew.
He knew favorite songs,
Her favorite DVDs,
But still,
Something was to be missed,
Something important was missed,
Like love.
And yet, -something like that-
Was the last thing both had said
Before
Their hearts were torn apart,
And they couldn't help but die
Anymore.
