if i had met you more than a few years ago i'd say things like "do you like me ? check 'yes' or 'no"
if we'd come across one another a few years down the road i'd admire your freedom and kind hearted soul
but i've met you in the middle of life so i say "it" in ways that you know
when i text you "goodnight" and ask if you're alright when i hate to hear you sad and listen to you talk about the day you had when i curl up to sleep with your photo beside me how i try to make you laugh, be as silly as i can be i do all these things, and dream of the day you'll hear me...
