They understand
what I say, what I mean
even in nonsensical lines
They understand
They keep me going forward
with their love,
appreciation,
and consideration
We may be far apart
but we're connected
They're near
and they wouldn't notice if I disappeared
they're melodramatic
and they don't see the meaning
in what I do
So I'll pick and choose
who gets to stay
it's my life
those who have always been
near will always be there
and those who haven't
can just walk away
