A Year or Two

Cut you off--the notes, your thoughts.
Clean the slate--your face, the names.

I'd like to see you,
But not for a year or two.

Make amends through long distance.
Stow away our obligations.

I've been stressing on those questions you asked,
So familiar that I lost their meaning.

I'd like to see you,
But not for a year or two.

(We'll) meet again on accident,
(We'll) speak of friends and absences.

I'd like to give you my reply.

I've been stressing on those questions you asked,
So familiar that I lost their meaning.
I've been guessing your responses to my own.
Flowing eloquent retorts to atone.

You wanted resolve.
