I wish I stole something of yours So you HAD to come back So I could show you that it’s not me That’s it’s the timing and the distance This empty feeling of unknown And wondering what is worth holding on to Or when this knot in my throat will one morning be gone I wish I took something of material Because it doesn’t mean a thing to you But for me it means everything One more time to hear your accent And play that hard to get routine I have down pack by now To compare languages, and thoughts, and sayings That we both know and don’t know To inspire each other to change our ways of thinking And to challenge each other That we do have this connection And we do have a reason to Fall harder and deeper Instead of remain on the surface And be shallow like material things

material things we take for granted
