I know
that you had a cat for 16 years
and it was your best friend for five
and you really don't like cats now
but I do.
And I know
that you had a red-haired girl for two years
and you loved her on the seaside
and you'll never get over your first love
but I will.
And I know
that all you do is lie around
and your motivation melted in the sun years ago
and your brain is filled with air
but mine's not.
And I know
that you're more serious than you wish
and you'll have frown line wrinkles when you're old and gray
and your heart is a little constricted from the wear of the years
but mine's not.
And I know
that you like to write
but it's only humorous stuff
and you don't understand my poetry, at all,
but I do,
I do. |
