People often ask each other
Please don’t die
I love you I love you
I haven’t spoken to you in
months and years
but you mean the world to me
I know you’re suffering
you’re old
and life is long
but you mean the world to me
and I need you
no matter what
You’re an important idea
I like to keep in my back pocket
why would you take that away from me?
Don’t you feel loved?
No, I can’t call right now
I’ve got my own life
and you’re not in it.
