You asked me once if I hated you.
You wouldn’t give up on it.
I told you I didn’t, I said I was disappointed.
I never told you I was even more disappointed in myself.

We were going to be heroes one day.
Now look at us.

You brought me flowers once.
You said it was an accident.
I thanked you anyway, and I laughed.
I should have hugged you.

We were going to be friends forever.
Now look at us.

You told me you loved me more than once.
You only ever said it if you were drunk or high or worse.
I told you each time I didn’t believe you.
I lied.

We were going to be special.
Now look at us.

You were going to see the world once.
You were going to change it.
I wanted to go with you and change it all with you.
I never told you.

You were my hero a lifetime ago.
I owned a look in your eyes nobody else saw for an age.
Now look at us.

You’re still my hero...
