So Many Other Things (But I Like You Best)

I don’t think

About the future much

But it is the

Quieter moments

After a long day

Or maybe just

An empty one

I look ahead

I think about us

I see 

Love songs in the underhang

Sky full of stars

Because love songs are

Common media

And often true

And stars are distant

Yet so beautiful

There is a sting in the air

The sun set hours ago

Passerby wonder 

If we’re a couple

If this is a

Serenade

I might wonder too

But it doesn’t

Matter

Life is much more

Relaxed

With no strings attached 

It’s simple too

Knowing it doesn’t 

Have 

To be said

Knowing it doesn’t 

Change

Anything 

If we don’t want it to

And in the future

I have things to do

I still can’t stay out 

Too late

But I can see you

I can see you smile

Be content

Show you the back rooms

Because I have things to do there

And I don’t want either of us to be

Alone

Laugh myself to the ground

Beside you

Because the world is 

Stressful

But it is also 

Spectacular

And I blame the world too

For putting me here

In this mess

But still

Thinking

About the future

And also the me

Of the future

Who blames the world

For putting you on my winding path

And telling me that 

You

Are much more important than

So

Many 

Other 

Things 

I could think of
