I'm not sleeping tonight.
I know if I tried, I'd fail
So instead I'm thinking of you.
Cataloging you in my mind.
Simple things: favorite colors and foods
Deeper things: experiences and viewpoints
Deep things: do you notice when the moon glows?
I've got most of the first section down, I think.
The second will need time to fill.
The third keeps changing.
The third is most important to me, you see.
What color do you think music is?
When you see the sun
Do you think of power
And creation and destruction
Or do you think of skin cancer?
When you eat
Can you feel your taste buds celebrating?
Basically, do you notice important things?
Do you see what some people don't care about?
Because I care.
And your catalog can't be finished
Until I know.
