But What Do I Know

On those late nights,
  we shared our thoughts like cigarettes.
Your lipstick still adorns my collar,
  like a red badge of courage.
Throughout our lives we never cared enough,
  so what was one more night to us.
It is strange how the times change.
If I saw you now, I might not recognize you.
  I never had good excuses to tell you.
We were always searching for something,
  we could never define.
It turns out it was all just a waste of time.
I just wanted to make things right,
  but now I live with this bottled up spite.
Things happened to me much too fast.
I just wanted to take a moment and make it last.
I know complex chemistry and plutonian physics,
  but I only wish I knew what all my efforts were for.
