everything ends in 1

it started with two

just two

you and me

nothing but the sound of your broken speakers to fill the silence

you said you liked my music, but i didn't believe you

no one likes my music

then there was five thousand

all swaying their phone lights to the sound of my favorite writer

and i realized that you had memorized the songs for me

and your favorite happened to be mine

then there was twenty

twenty of us left in that cold barn

all saying goodbye

john mayer had never sounded more heartbreaking

than he did that night as we all stared at our shoes

that night ended with two

just two

you and me

and as we sat there in your car

listening to those broken speakers play our favorite song

that melody had never sounded more sad

and your face had never looked more hurt

but the next day it was me

just me

just one

because at the end of the day i always end up alone

and i always end up missing everyone i ever knew

and everything ends in one

even that song
