-------------------------

when i saw you

straighten your hair

with your finger

it felt like

i knew that

gesture

from somewhere



but i couldn't remember where

i couldn't remember

the torn picture

and then



seventeen

seventeen

i remembered you

seventeen

seventeen

your warped image



it felt like

i knew

that vacant

stare

from

somewhere

i saw it somewhere

i'm sure

a long time

ago



but i couldn't remember

what you looked like

at that time

i mean



seventeen

seventeen

i remember you

seventeen

seventeen

your warped image



i didn't want

to meet you ever again
