All my life I have been feeling this crippling loneliness
Somehow it gives me a sense of comfort
Just the idea of someone walking on this very earth
Who is meant to be with me
Is lovely but also terrifying

I’m wondering if he’s thinking about me too
When he’s drinking a beer with the guys
Or when he steps into his car
Questioning when the seat next to him will be filled
Wondering what my favorite songs are
And if I like to dance
Also knowing there is someone on this planet
Who is meant for him

I wish the wind would whisper his name to me
Or the pigeon outside my window
The tram that rushes by me
Or the employee at the coffee shop
Just to know he’s not dead
That I don’t wait for nothing
Or my body will dig itself
into the earth
