lately

I close my eyes and tune him out
Feeling your fingertips on my back
... but only imagining.
 
With every word he's saying
I'm hearing something you said to me once
A joke you've already told
A line you've already used
 
I'm tired of pretending to be
interested in what he's saying.
 
Maybe I shouldn't hang out with guys anymore.
If they always wind up reminding me of you
