maybe you'll be
on my mind forever,
it's no big thing
just a nuisance at times.
there are other ways,
a thousand more lines
to write in your honour
to make it all sugar
dissolving away
at the bottom of
a paper cup.

& in a matter of hours
oh, how things change
the reversal of the worst
kind of feeling,
the six a.m blues
tomorrow i want you to
follow me under the tide
follow me over the sky

i want to paint it all
red.
