One morning

I didn't wake up

And all of a sudden

The world fell in love with me

I say I miss you
You say you miss me to
Like it's some sort of game

You don't understand
You most likely never will

The longer we are apart
A little piece of me dies
The longer we are apart
A part of me fades away

the different, the unique
the new, the antique
the fresh, the chic
the rank, the reek
the ripe, the wrong
the reader, the song
the looker, the liar
the warrior, the long
the smiler, the frowner
the right-side-up
the up-side-down
the winter, the spring
the songbirds sing
the summer, the fall
the sunsets and the gall
to say "im special"
to say "im sweet"
but i stand, say my part
bow down and take my seat
