I Like You, Let's Be Friends

Have you ever thought about how I am me

And you are you

And there is nothing we can do to change it?

 You have your life

I have mine

Our paths cross

But never do we experience

The same things

In the same way

 Is it strange that I am fascinated

By the way your world runs?

Is it strange that I find it difficult to grasp

The fact that what I have

Is what I have

And you have something different?

  Today

 We sat side by side

Occupying the same space

At the same time

 And everything I saw

Was nothing like what you see

My world satisfies

And my world defeats

But I wonder sometimes

How does your world work?

Is it strange that I am fascinated

By the way your mind works?

Is it strange that I wish I had experienced

The things you had

So that I could understand?

 Sometimes I feel so detached

And I just want you to know

That I try hard

Not to be like that

Because really all I want to do is know you.

It gets like that when you find yourself quite fond of someone.
