Swimming In Cotton

I could ask- how are you,
I could say- wassup up,
But I don’t feel like it

I could smile and greet
I could slide and merge
But I don’ wan’t to

I scrawl and make face
I make no effort,
They’re oblivious

I want to go where I belong
But I wan’t to stay and experience
Just a short time, just a few days.

I chose,but not naively,
No mistake it’s an education
Wise up, this could happen.

Take me away, but not home.
Take me away
And reassure me once again.

It’s only with you I find comfort,
It’s you I see with my eyes
It’s you I want to be with.
