Almost

I fell down today. Scraped my knee real bad. The cut's small, but it's pretty deep. Had to go to the doctor's to have it cleaned and bandaged. He said if it had been just a little deeper I'd have required stitches.

And I don't know why I called you
And I don't know why you came
And I don't know why we acted
Like it was all the same.
And I don't know why the laughter
And the cheek pecks came my way
When deep inside we both know
It was just like yesterday.

It's been a long time since I fell down bad. I just wasn't paying attention when I walked up the escalator. And that's why this happened. Guess with all that's been happening lately, I really haven't been myself. Strange how these extreme highs and lows punctuate my life. I haven't been paying attention to anything. Forgot my mom's birthday yesterday til 9pm, and I had to rush out to buy a cake. I've been buying the wrong things and giving cashiers the wrong amount of money.

If this goes on, I'll be able to star in a sob flick soon. The stereotypical stony-eyed, teary lady has so much on her mind/She is pouring hot water out of a flask/She stares into space/She scalds herself/She flings the flask against the wall with an exasperated shout.

I guess you think you know.
But I guess
You have no idea.
