You know that laugh?

And you re entered my life
Like the sweetest nightmare
Or rather, I re entered yours
And we spoke
And we laughed, drank coffee at the same place
I saw the pain in your eyes
carefully noted the details of your body
while the tears still swam around
somewhere deep inside you

And you re entered my mind
I've been letting you in to that ugly cage
undoing the latch
On the door to that stupid hope
in me

that we

would laugh the laugh
of joyful grass reaching for the sun
you know that laugh?
