in the beginning it was all about me
i was the star for a little while there
but you were young and dumb
and full of cum
that i didn't necessarily want to deal with
and i have to laugh
just thinking about
the absurdity of that genesis
and i'm sorry it makes you sad

now you own a third of my heart
which is less than what you had at 16
but so much more than you deserved a year later
and while i love you and need you
two out of three ain't bad
since we have come so far
and created this
strange litle oasis
of stasis
that changes a little bit every day
it's both less and more
what what we ever could have dreamed of
or hoped for

so this is your opus
my little creation for you
began while driving
mulled over a few cups of coffee
added on to while in the shower
written down on an envelope
so i wouldn't forget
until finally scrawled in pixels
with words that will never
manage to ever fully capture
the true insanity of us
because you already knew
just how my brain works
without telepathy

and remember
it was all about me in the beginning
but it turned into you at the end
i thought i wanted something transitory
...after ten years in the making
i wound up with a friend
but i guess i can't let go
of all the would-have-beens
curiosity got the best of me

(you win)
