Suffice to Say

I got this message from your name
You'd been listening to Ocean Frank
And it made you think of me
You hope I'm doing great
And hoped it wasn't a mistake
But wait
As things were coming to an end
You said
That you'd be open to us still being friends
Mentioning we should eventually reconnect
Before you stopped me
By blocking me on all the interwebs
So I took that moment
To ask if you were interested
You said you were
And asked if I'd be into it
I said I would
It don't gotta be nothing intricate
Just wanna know
How's life been
Since the time that we were intimate?
Admitted
I just wanted to say what's up
Maybe remind myself
Exactly why did we break up
Half-expecting you to
Want to try and make things up
But when you didn't
I had to put this into quotations

You look just like the girl
That I used to date
But something about you has changed
It makes me want you back
But that's a risk I can't take
Suffice to say
You're different and the same
In all the best ways

Last I heard
You were moving to New Orleans
But
Here we sit
Inside a café in Portland
And
You look gorgeous
But I guess that's not important
It appears as though
Our time apart's
Allowed you to move forward
'Cause you seem so happy
Like I was holding you up
You push your comfort zone
And don't rely on anyone
No longer want a relationship
No, you just wanna have fun
Unlike the girl who said
She's ready to settle down with someone
But you still look fine
And your smile's still a masterpiece
Still look in my eyes as we talk so casually
All the inside jokes still come so naturally
As all the good times
Simultaneously come back to me
And this has to be a front
But
I miss you so much
But
I can't forget the reasons
Why we're no longer one
I
Gotta keep my head up
And think straight because honestly
This is not about you
It's about what I want you to be

You look just like the girl
That I used to date
But something about you has changed
It makes me want you back
But that's a risk I can't take
Suffice to say
You're different and the same
In all the best ways

I must ignore the voice in my head
What it says messes things up
It's the train in the distance
That Paul Simon sings of
And it never goes away
It only changes shape
I just can't help but feel like I made a mistake

'Cause you look just like the girl
That I used to date
But something about you has changed
It makes me want you back
But that's a risk I can't take
Suffice to say
You're different and the same
In all the best ways
