I barely know you're there
My mind wanders to the
What ifs of life
I can't help but feel alone
as you talk
on and on
about things that aren't important
i don't mean to be rude
but with so much hate in life
with so much love in life
with so much laughter in life
why should i care...
about middle school drama?
