Only You
It generally doesn't feel very good
To have oneself laughed at
But I don't think that I will mind it
If it's laughter coming from you
I also don't know that I would enjoy
Being labeled naïve and foolish
But I think I will be more than okay
If the judgements come from you.
Call me silly, call me blind
I really wouldn't mind
Poke fun at me, mock my fears
Everything's alright
Whatever it is you decide to do
When you look at me…
I guess I've got the point across
But God…I just love you so.
I guess it's because at the end of the day
You know me better than all
Everyone else may mean the best
But only you fully understand:
I love how I don't have to explain
All the roads I've walked
With you I'm glad that I don't have to state
Where I'm coming from
Every belief I've ever held
You already know it all
Everything I could ever imagine
You've thought of it before
And you know what's even crazier than that?
How I know that this is all true-
How I can easily say these things
Without even knowing you
I've no idea what you look like now
No clue about what interests you
I don't know what sorts of things you do
Or if your happiness lies somewhere new-
Do you still like to watch the sky
And imagine movies in the clouds?
Do you still get lost in corridors
Or are your spatial skills better now?
I do not know what you're like now
But this much I've got to say
I'm really hoping that either way
You're happy with who you are
I like to think that still perhaps
I'd recognize you were we to meet
But if I don't that'd still be okay
As long as you are, too
In fact, standing where I am today
That is what I hope for the most
That wherever in life you've found yourself
You're doing alright and more
In fact, I hope you're standing up above
At a pedestal looking down
Where you can drown in laughter from
All the ways I've been so wrong
If I'm brutally honest today
I'm actually hoping that you will
Come to deem me those 'cruel' things
Those words you cannot call others:
Clueless, unwitting, whatever it is
You've got my explicit permission
I'm just praying that it will be because
Finally, you know better
Only you, though
My future self
Only you
This is one of my personal favorites.
I'd love to hear what you think of it!
