When he asks me if I believe in love a thousand memories flash through my mind
First when I was 8 and my daddy said “i love you kiddo” and I cried because he was drunk and maybe in the back of my mind I knew that was the last time I would see him
And I see my uncle kiss my aunt and hug my cousins and I
And tell us that he loves us more than life
Then six short months later he shoots himself in the field we used to run throughI think if the time my cousin Dani had her baby girl and her boyfriend said he would love her forever
Now seven years later my cousin is a single mom and her baby girl has never met her daddyAnd I think of my aunt Ronda
When she said I do and so did uncle Scott
For better and for worse
Now she’s chain smoking on her back porch
And he’s driving around town with a bottle blonde on the back of his motorcycleAnd the time when her and I laid on my couch
And she traded the scars on my hip bone
She told me she’d love me until the end of timeNow I’m laying on my bed with you at 2 a.m. And you ask me if I believe in love
Fighting back tears I smile and say
I don’t know anymore
My steps keep splitting my grief
Through these solipsistic moods
I should call my parents when I think of them
Should tell my friends when I love them
I finally forgot the color of your eyes and I take great comfort in that
