Best Laid Plans

Fancy seeing you here
All by yourself
Sitting in the low light
The fractals in your eyes dancing around
Say, are you lonely?
You look like you could use some company
But I’m not one to make the first move
Then again neither are you
So make yourself at home although you weren’t invited
Seasons change, feelings stay the same
Incapable of thoughtful, conscious choices
Seasons change, people stay the same
But I think that’s for another day
So I ask how you’ve been
You snicker and say
«It can always be worse
But shit’s been pretty rough these days»
By now, I’ve detected
You’re slurring your speech
You’re grabbing your keys
You’re starting to leave
I impulsively say, «You should come with me»
So make yourself at home although you weren’t invited
Seasons change, feelings stay the same
Incapable of thoughtful, conscious choices
Seasons change, people stay the same
But I think that’s for another day
«The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry»
Despite all this, I still want you here by my side
