Every look
and every sound
everything I get from you
is so valuable.

Time is ticking
and she isn't going anywhere.
I think that I've willed
you to love me so hard
that I'm starting to imagine
that you really do.

"I miss him so much."
"God, he's so cute."
I've thought either one at least ten times today.
No doubt
it'll double by tomorrow.
Triple in a week.
And soon I'll be singing to myself.

I love you.
I love you.
Love me back!
Please oh please oh please, love me back.

Wasting all my wishes,
all my money, all my time
for you to open up your eyes, m'boy
and see who we could be.

I s'pose 'til you come 'round
I'll have to
sing myself to sleep.
