i was thinking about you, about us, and how we've moved through time

when i first connected with you
maybe
maybe i was assuming a lot
i had this knowing that
i don't know
we had this thing, ya know

but i still wonder
was i just
kinda pushing
were you just intrigued

not that there'd be anything wrong with that, as such

but
you realize
i had this strong conviction that just pushed me
and maybe
maybe it was all fabricated

this fascinates me

how much of all this is just pure manifestation
how much imagination

how different i feel now
how different you seem

and i mean, sure, it's been years
and our worlds have changed a bunch individually
but
i think
for myself
i can honestly say
that i've changed with you
or for you or because of you or whatever, but

i was thinking
they say, whoever they are
that you should do something 
something that you love, because
it is only by doing that something that you
will ever be successful in life, and it's funny because
there's never been anything that i really cared about that much
until there was you, you are such a game changer for me, really, you know
and i wonder, still
if i'm screwing up
all the ways i could be
maybe i should understand
something about you better, and then
i'd know which of the truths was true true
maybe i can't know-- tubs of ice and all that
but i still need what i need and i need you
that's not negotiable, so if that makes
me bad then i'm gonna just have to be bad, ya know

i was thinking
how is it possible that i am so naive and yet
so guarded, so open and yet so isolated
how can another person be
the one thing in life
i have true passion for
how can that be
and one way or another
truer words
baby
truer words
