i was standing in the aisle waiting for my order
and you cut in front and asked for your prescription
i could see the cuts line your wrist
and i could hear the eagerness in your words
they flew off of your tongue
like daggers in my ears b
but i knew i was in love
i was in love with the sight of your transgressions
you weren't strong and i could help you
by the next december we were moved in
and you had your razors in the medical cabinet
behind the mirror
i remember throwing them out
and i remember you using knives instead
we buttered the toast the next day
unaware of what you had used the knives for
it wasn't until we found you in the bath tub
we knew you had taken your life

i would look back at you
and smile at your grin
what are best friends for anyways
"and you meant nothing to me"
i told you i wouldn't let us lose touch
but look at what's become of our friendship
now we were stronger than this
you were stronger than this
someone heard me whimper
and push my feelings aside
i just want you to be happy.

leslie: alec was the first love of my life.
y'know, i sometimes think if we had never ended up in the same dorm,
i would have just ended up with someone else,
so would he.
tell me something, what do you think about our relationship as an outsider?
i want you to be honest
kevin: you want me to be honest?
leslie: i don't know, yes.
kevin: yeah?
okay, dangerous question, um.
well, i think i hang around you guys so much,
personally, because, well, you're all i think about.
And, um, i think the reason i'm not interested in other women
and why i haven't had sex in so long is
because i am desperately, completely, in love with you...
leslie: kevin...
kevin: well, we won't even remember this tomorrow.
leslie: it is tomorrow

you didn't find god,
you found a way to separate us
your heart pressed firmly against your bible
i wanted to believe
...
i wanted to believe you were doing better
i wanted to believe in something
i wanted to take that pain away from you
to no avail, you left me
and i think i believe.

you are the kind of girl who helps wipe lipstick from my cheek
and you are the kind of girl who whispers my name
but i sleep all day
and it isn't fair you have to go through this.
it's so not fair! i wish i knew
at a funeral, drunk, you told me you loved me
such an odd place and time,
i remember thinking to myself
and it was the first time i felt alive
and it was the first time something felt right
you made me feel right!
we moved in together the next december
i met you at the pharmacy
you had cuts all up and down your arms
and you helped me get over losing my best friend
we missed her grin most a
nd we miss your grin
we found you in the bath tub
june 15, 2004
i miss you
