A Poem I wrote for my girlfriend
I don't think I'll ever show it to her, and it's pretty cliched because I haven't been writing, but I kind of liked it for its simplicity, like a pop song, and wanted to share it with someone.
It's called "Sometimes"
So I try to explain that
Just because I’m lying
Doesn’t make me bad.
It’s hard to understand,
Mostly because its so overused
And I don’t particularly expect
You to think this is anything more
But maybe you can consider
It might be me
Putting the perfectly tinted glasses
On your blue vision
Just letting you know
That I can’t be bought by argument
I can’t be swayed by reason
But
You can count on me
And I am imperfect
Those two things seem contradictory
But what really matters anyway
Is not how straight the line is
But where it gets drawn
In any moment
So try to relax
This is just me
I know it’s a little odd and
You maybe feel wrong about it
I know I always do
But you know
We say we trust each other
Maybe just
For science
We should try that out
Let go a little
I think we are both really smart
We both got on ok before
So
It ought to be pretty hard
For us to fuck up together.
