Cheap Cigarettes and Vodka Will Always Remind Me of You.

By Quietus

 







Two girls,

Beautiful and all grown up.

They’ve known each other

For years.

The best years of their lives

Have come by and gone.

Who knew it’d go so fast?

 

They used to sneak out

At the crack of midnight,

To see cute, older boys

And smoke cheap cigarettes.

They used to crack open the vodka

When no parents were home,

Just to forget the world together.

 

Who will forget the world with them now?
Three-thousand miles apart sounded easy,

But it’s not so easy,

Is it?

No, it isn’t easy when neither girl

Wants to be replaced.

A short phone call cannot be compared to seven years of bliss.
