coinstar

every day since i was able to stand again

(quite a miracle, you know)

I left my hospital bed and hitched a bus ride to the grocery store.

Every day i saw you, lovely theresa, doing different things, you looked like no other being on earth.

Sometimes they would have you stocking the shelves. Sometimes you would be the girl selling doughnuts with a lovely smile you just COULD NOT refuse. Sometimes you would be the cashier.

(I would wait in a line 100 custumers long to exchange quick small talk with you.)

But today was quite different.

Today I walked

(quite a miracle, you know)

in through the sliding doors and your green apron caught my eye. I saw you though the windows on the other side. Talking to him as if you loved him. You so fondly put your hand on his wrist and looked at him with eyes I would have died to see.

He was the boy who swims.

(but never for a team)

And it seems you two are in love

(as you so deserve to be theresa, you are stunning).

you broke my spine, you broke my heart.

you are in love with the boy who swims.

(ps. i puked behind the coinstar machine and you're gonna have to clean it up.)
