You're like a smooth rounded spoon
And I'm a knife with sharpened edges
You're like lego
Easily compatible with other pieces
And I'm the parts each sold separately
That too with batteries not included
You're the elegant
Turquoise, sapphire, terracotta and emerald
I'm just plain old green and blue
Running on fumes
You're full and vibrant of life
And I tarnish everything I touch
Confused and lost
You understand me
More than I understand myself
The way I don't know when to stop
And how I often pass the line of
No turning back
And I push away everyone I've got
Because I hate being needy
I hate being weak
And I don't want to have anything to lose
Yet I put on a facade
A pretty good one at that
And when you believe I want to say goodbye
I believe I can make it as an actress
A lawyer
A politician
But later when I'm by myself
You are all that I seek
And I know that I gave up my right
To ask you how you are
Or to tell you my secrets
But know that
A million time's a day
I almost fall weak and retreat
On the brink of contact
Today I typed up Ramadan Kareem
Even thought that's a week away
But I just wanted something to say
And I know it's not fair
I can feel that I'm the tide that is too high
Sending mixed signals
So I give up
I let you loose
And I tell myself I don't miss you
I don't need you
