Kristine from the 7th Grade

Are you the same Kristine I knew from seventh grade? No, it's definitely you Just with a new last name Someone who laughed a lot Is what I remember the most But the face in your profile Suggests maybe not so much anymore Yeah, I got the emails These last two years every day And I just don't reply because I'm not really sure what to say Kristine from the seventh grade The anger, the all caps And all the pseudoscience The misspellings, they must be on purpose We went to a good school, Kristine So what would you imagine I might Take from this deluge of memes The cryptic, dark Bible quotes Guns and dead fetuses Seriously, Kristine, are you okay? 'Cause this world can be Wonderful too, yeah Do you ever see it that way, Kristine? From the seventh grade There's a break in the rain A perfect time for a walk The smell of wet leaves And warm smiles and hellos These things exist in the real world, you know Oh, what a shame, Kristine This disease that makes strangers of friends But if these days it's really "us's" and "them's" Maybe you should just take me off of both of those lists 'Cause it's such a short and sad And beautiful life Do you ever see it that way?
