Anticipation

Tuesday
Nothing to do
Except go to yoga
Then wait around for some good news
From school

Lonely
Open Tinder
Swipe right on everyone
Cause I’ve been alone long enough
It’s sad

Yoga
Roll out my mat
These girls are all so young
But no one is as flexible
As me

Craving
Should I buy one?
Store is on the way home
Would alcohol make me feel fine?
Maybe

Drive home
Try not to look
As I pass by his place
He’s out of sight, but on my mind
Just breathe

Tuesday
Open Tinder
These girls are all so young
Would alcohol make me feel fine?
Just breathe
