so i was sitting on the bus across from this guy with a guitar.

I was drumming my fingers or something to Hop Along. He made a comment about it, so i pulled my headphones out of my ears and started talking with him. 

Somehow we eventually got to the point where he said he wanted to hear me play. even though i was telling him how awful i really was, for how much experience i have.

He suggested we swap songs. So i agreed.

Then he suggested we get off at my bus stop and play right there. 

And because everyone insists that i am not open enough with those things, i did.

Somehow, i did not throw up or even cry when i played Bruno is Orange (which is the easiest song so if i ever can’t remember things (always) i can just play that and besides my fingers were frozen and we were sitting on a retaining wall)

And then we parted ways.

so that happened. 

I played and sang for a stranger, and i didnt die
