After

Do you know that feeling?

When you forget your jacket
On a cold gray day
And the wind blows right through you
Like you're not even there

And then when you sit down to eat
Your mouth goes up down up down
Chewing like always
But you don’t taste anything

Like when you run really hard
And you’re all out of breath
Gasping gasping
For that bit of thin air

Or when you’re on a swing
As you’re coming down
Your stomach gets left behind
And it’s all empty inside

That’s what it’s like
To be just friends

-- No.., It’s worse.
