It is too simple
to pet a stray dog
then watch it run under a car
and say it wasn't mine

It is too simple
to admire a rose
then pick it and forget
to put water in the vase

It is too simple
to use a person
for loving without love
then leave him standing alone
and say I don't know him
anymore

It is too simple
to know one's flaws
then live them at great cost to others
and say that's just the way I am

It is too simple
the way we sometimes live our lives
for after all life simply is
a serious matter

Iki
I'm not trying to be pretentious
But for me your simplicity makes it very contagious
So I try to impress you with my own inventions
And shower you with all of my good intentions

I ain't tryna give you complications
I just want our us to have good foundations
So no one will motivate us to have fluctuations
And because of your simplicity I'll love you for generations
Iki means simplicity and Diane you are simple and I love that you are being simple in every way.

I'm not like the sunlight, I'm not warm and bright
My rays don't sparkle nor glisten with light
People aren't drawn to me in the summer haze
They don't spend their afternoons adoring my gaze

I'm more like the moonlight within the darkest nights
Not bright nor beautiful but still providing some light
My rays are soft and gentle, peaceful as such
I won't burn nor blister the people with my touch

And though I arent as loved, nor am I as romanticized by poets
I'll hide in the shadows of silver clouds, You'd hardly even notice
But I'll give you what I can, I'll listen to your woes
So even on the darkest nights, you won't feel so alone

So come sit upon the rooftops, every once in a while
Rugged up in a blanket, show me that perfectly imperfect smile
Cause even though I can't provide the same love, as the sun gives days
I promise I'll stay by your side, giving you little glisten of moonlight
Forever and Aways

Different types of lights with different types of lives
Though moonlight can be just as nice as the sun
Two plus two is four

One plus one equals two

And perhaps it's also true

That love is equal to me plus you.
I can't help this feeling for you. I'm sorry that I'm like this...

Smile for your time in the dungeon,
for the recompense you pay
is a learning experience.

I see you
Wandering around and
Staring through the window

I hear you
Telling me simple memories
That stick through this

I feel you
Your feelings are true
Even though you can’t portray them

I know you
I know what is going on
And I’m here for the rest of your time
