Sunset | The xx

I’ve never walked by someone and acted like I never knew them. 

I have, however, attempted to sneak by someone and pretended to not see them. But Becky was with me. And just as he came into her view, and I was about to get away with it, she proceeded to say “Hey!” and punch him violently in the arm.

It was kind of awesome.

She was like this kind of bodyguard. She gave him this punch that I never could. Because although I was filled with this rage that made me feel like the The Hulk, I was too bruised and sore from what I went through to even raise my hands. It was like she was defending me from a fight she knew I wasn’t up for.

I wish Becky still lived in San Francisco.
