Let's

Let’s pretend we are on the radio

And that tomorrow will never come.

Let’s shoot poppers at midnight

And play out action movies til 3.

Let’s dance to TLC

And talk about sex with boys.

Let’s ignore our parents.

Pretend their mistakes

Won’t be the same as ours.

Let’s fight

Because we know that neither of us

Can really understand

How the other one breathes.

Let’s play dress up

Make Andrew wear a silk skirt

And laugh until our insides hurt.

Let’s pretend the gap doesn’t exist.

Let there be no space, no time, no distance. 

Let’s lay in bunk beds

Talk until we fall asleep

About who you would be

if you lived to see 23.
