I just really wanna say “hey”

Can we kick it like back in the day?

That night did complicate,

And I don’t know if were friends

or bound by hate.

-

But I miss you,

and I really just want to just text you,

Tell you all about my day.

I’m fucking stressed these days.

But I don’t think you’ll answer if I text you to just say

“Heyyy-

Can we kick it like back in they day.”

I really fucking miss you don’t play.

That night did complicate.

and all I really wanna,

all I really wanna say is..

-

“Heyyy — Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey-hey”

And I can’t help but to hesitate,

If you answer I would damn near levitate,

But shit don’t go that way:

I might have fucked it up, you say

Cold shoulders and friends they don’t relate.

But boy I’m bound to you,

I wanna kick it like we do

Catch a show,

sip XO,

and hit up “A Lil’ Louder”

but you play.

Your hurt and so you play.

You play, you play, you play.

-

And now I’m looking at my phone

I got a text going on

My fingertips on send so long

And the only thing that I can pen

Is “hey.”
