Today we shall be friends
And tomorrow
I’ll wait for you to come down
From downy cloud nine
When you have eyes again to see
Your ordinary face.
I have it all figured out now.
First I’d avoid all the regular haunts
Where I always run into you
Seldom by accident.
Then, I’d find other hobbies
Than our shared film class.
I’d meet you still
Occasionally,
But then we’d be
Nodding acquaintances
Who knew each other well
Once.
Today we shall be friends
Because I cannot let you
Sigh your self-satisfied sigh,
“We’re not in the same league,
Of course she’s jealous”
No, just annoyed.
I’d be nice and cheery and play the fool
Wait till you remember who you are
I’d be discrete and gentle
For old time sake
Today we shall be friends
But tomorrow
