try to find the time to write the letter instead of making the time to write the letter
teach my little brother bad words
letting her go every time and never understanding that she wanted me to stop her
not lying when it would have been better to lie

try ice cream with soy sauce
not be smart enough to give clearer signs, let her fall for me out of my ignorance
make empty promises and not regret them
miss a whole winter without going into the mountains to see the snow like i said i would
become one of the Cool Kids

never discover my hometown until it was too late
lie and say i love you too
have sex without a condom
not learn to surf when the beach was so close
get jealous when i wasn't supposed to care
not smile at you
