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. 

"What do you usually do when I'm gone?" "Wait for you to come back."

I can't wait to run away from reality

For a time, suspended

To stand still and breathe

 But what I wish to know

Is will you still be here when I get home

Will our time be suspended, as if it never even changed

Because you're all I've got in this big, wide world

And I need a break, I need to escape

 But most of all I need to know

If you'll be here just the same

 Because soon enough I'll come running home

As if nothing ever changed
