Living for Two


there's so much i want to know about you but mom won't let me know.

she doesn't want to think about it ever again

she said she may go crazy if she does

a month of life leaves a large impact.

you must think my pursuit is so silly,

that i should just be living

that there isnt much to find out

and i'm making a bigger deal of it than i should.

but there are times i forget about you

and it doesnt seem right.

can you even understand me?

what do we become? you know and i do not.

are we really just star stuff?

i don't even know where you are

someday i want to visit the site

and as i get older i'll be more free and maybe get to visit you

and everyone else you didn't get to meet,

and soon i may get to see those i never got to meet

including you

what song should i sing to you?

what food would you like me to eat?

will you hear me?

i'm sorry for the times i haven't appreciated living

i'm sorry for thinking that if it wasnt for you i would have never been born

this is how it was supposed to be, isnt it?

howeverbig or small you are

i believe you protect me

Thank you .
