It’s been a long summer since things ended
Filled with first dates leading to meaningless interactions
Inviting people upstairs to smoke cigarette on my balcony
To catch a view of the Salesforce Tower
From my 21st floor studio apartment
I would always say the same cheesy lines
About how beautiful the SF skyline is
About how special this moment was
And that always somehow brought people to their knees
But here you are messaging me on Snapchat
An app I haven’t used since freshman year
On a Monday in the first week of August
Telling me how my words are beautiful
Confiding in me your fears of what is ahead
And all I want is to melt into your arms
Even though we met a couple hours ago
Even though it was on Tinder
I feel like every meaningless interaction
Has led me to meet you tonight
It is sad that I am leaving in a couple days
It is sad that you are only in SF during the summer
Our paths only intersected this week
But I will remember the night we shared
When we got drinks at Cafe Terminus
And stayed there until close
And walked along Embarcadero until 3 AM
Admiring the light of the Bay Bridge in the dark
And listened to that Lana Del Rey song together
Staring at the end of the horizon
Like the ending of Gatsby
