\nof the disused train tracks you pull
\non the strings of my adidas hoodie
\ndrawing me closer to you
\ncovering my face
\nclosing off the rest of the world
\nso that all i can see is you<\/p>\n
\ni still can\u2019t see much beyond your face framed by your hair and
\nmy other adidas hoodie which you borrowed
\nthat one time after you stayed the night when
\nneither of us had planned on it and
\nyou had to go home early to help out your dad<\/p>\n
