Oh Hey.

oh hey. from one friend's apartment to the other and their view has the skyline and theirs has a fire escape i wanna drink wine with you on and then we hop in a cab 'cause the rain falls hard and our umbrellas break all the time but you're no longer a kid so you can't cry about it.
oh hey. we gotta build furniture to put our college books in and everyone has a copy of that one book because that one book had that one line about falling in love. so we build bookshelves while we drink beer and drink beer while we sit on floors, because we'll never grow out of sitting on floors.
oh hey. we look for jobs and scroll for jobs and find a job that we tell our parents about because we need to make sure they know we're real life graduates, but our diploma is in the bathroom and we still eat after school snacks for dinner and breakfast at midnight because why not.
oh hey. we graduated and now we're here doing everything we thought we would and when we catch our reflections in store windows, we are kittens who've never seen a mirror before, who catch their reflection and want to say hi, instead of me?
oh hey. we buy cheap coffee because we've learned it's better and make eye contact with strangers because those are the stories we want to share with our friends when we drink wine on the fire escape.
oh hey. and sometimes it's really lonely.
