Party

Take the 9:59 train
Run four blocks in the rain
She's stunning, all dressed up for the party
Excitement’s in our eyes

It was worth it to make haste
I decide, as my eyes roam her face
Long awaited party
Edgy, eager eyes

I don't know this crowd
Try to talk, but it's just loud
Lonely at a packed party
Unfamiliar eyes

This is a game and I don't know how to play
Is it all in my head? What the fuck do I say?
Judgemental party
So many eyes

Someone hands me some substances
Not sure where this has been, or what this shit even is
Tripping at the party
Bloodshot eyes

Sober no longer
I thought I could be stronger
Parties are like mirrors
And all I see are disappointed eyes

“Six puffs?
Not enough.”
Now I’m crossed at the party
Debilitated eyes

Maybe I’m too sober
Maybe that’s what I need to get over
Alone, again, in a bathroom, at the party
Tears form at the corners of my eyes

I can’t take one more second
I collect myself, and take a deep breath in
I’m done with this party
Exhausted eyes

Driving away, my mind just getting dimmer
She won't allow any eye contact to linger
Headed to the afterparty
Avoidant eyes

Awareness mostly gone
Our group is moving on
Unsure and apathetic to what happened with the afterparty
I'm only searching for her, and her deep, brown eyes

Uber ride, we’re at a rooftop apartment in a flash
Looking for her, pleading for her, struggling not to crash
The party may be over
But I still can’t find her gorgeous, gorgeous eyes

Not sure how, but my head’s in her lap
‘The night is over’, I silently cheer, I've found her at last
I hated that party
Looking up at closed eyes

Before sleep takes me
I look up, smile, poke her cheek
I love her, fuck that party
She opens up beautiful eyes

‘I love you’, I whisper
And lean in and kiss her
You need no more words, the night of a party
I keep staring into her understanding eyes

‘Goodnight mi amor’
Before I kiss her once more
Reunited after a party
Slowly closing eyes
