When I was twenty

A 31 year old man broke my heart. Being almost 30 myself, I can tell you that he was and is a total retard. but you'll have to forgive me, I was only 20.

I cried a lot in my parents small 2 bedroom apartment. I loved their tub because the water looked far away turquoise blue.

One day I was sad in the tub and listening to 'Our Endless Numbered Days' when my mom came BARGING in. I was naked and I was the only one uncomfortable with that. She yelled at me, "IS THAT HIM?! Turn it off! Turn it off if that's him!".

I stared, naked deer in headlights, and she closed the door and went away.

I sunk back in the bath and incredulously thought, "Is that him?! My god! He'd never sound this good".

And that was my moment of relief.
