You make my life a scientific statement
If I pretend to be normal, Then I will be spared
But you lied to me
It was not as easy as you said it would be

My boyfriend doesn't understand you
I wonder if he hates you
He thinks you'll go away
I know you won't

My mother knows you live here
She sees you peeking out of my eyes
She hears you snicker when I get confused
I think she wants to be your friend

My father doesn't know you are here
I've never told him that you made me yours
But I know you'll introduce yourself
You don't like to not be known

My brother can comprehend you
He's seen you holding my hand for years
He knows how you whisper in my ear
Maybe he can hear you too

But I love you
You make laughter roll off my teeth
You make maps in my brain
It's not your fault that you're here
And I'd like you to stay
