“Groundhog Day”
Narrator: Steve Matthews
Date: February 2nd-23rd
Where’d you run off to? This life was so simple back then. These picture frames paint us a scene of when we did not pretend. These photo albums have depleted. They’ve long stopped adorning these walls. I blame myself for my surprise when you got the call. I never thought you could leave me, but the airport is dangerously close. We never got to have our children, or get married at all. You dropped the I from the “I love you”, with our correspondence growing thin. This ending was so poorly written. Can we start this again?
Please hear me out. Here’s my final stand. I’ll retrace my footsteps until I’m a new man. If I should fail, we’ll start after rest. It goes over and over until I can’t draw on my breath.
Your new job is treating you well. You’re happy, from what I have heard. We’ve not spoken in several weeks. I guess there are no words? I’m writing down words for this memoir. I will try to be as kind as I can. I have not gotten to our ending. I guess I’m hoping this end will just end. Can this please just end…?
Why does it feel like betrayal every time I wish I could hate you? Why does it feel like betrayal every time I want to forget you? I met a girl at the car wash. I’ve seen her around once or twice. She might’ve been part of your circle? Just you had my eyes (so I cannot say for certain). I hear you are dating in New York. This small town could never suffice. I guess we are doing our own thing, but I’ll keep you in mind.
The lead singer of punk band Camp Cope ventures into romantic synth-pop territory, tempering slick arrangements with bare sentiment.
