You haven’t mistaken me
for someone
you used to know
You have mistaken me for someone
I used to be

This is nice
I said
this is love
he said
No,
this just nice like
I said

You asked for truth
I tried.

I never told you
forever
I never promised
tomorrow
and for what
it’s worth
at this late stage
neither
did you.

Someone like you
was never meant for
someone like me
it was always meant to be
a casual affair

We grew up together
you and me
husband and wife
reaching out
for something
beyond strife
beyond  life
beyond  smile
beyond house
beyond kids
beyond ideal
beyond anyone
could ever hope to be
congrats !
we got there
we are now
after this long time  
beyond anyone  
anywhere
in this universe
could ever hope to be
Well done us!
lets not talk about
the price.

Thank you for listening
to the ten billion words I cough up
each day
and only hearing
the ones
I mean
and still
staying around
and loving me
all the same
