every year, the seasons change
but you, you always stay the same.
like every other time of year,
i ask myself why i'm here.
the summer when i moved away
you said we'd have to have a day
to spend time like we used to do.
but when we did you asked me to
take you to the store and back
because you're afraid of driving there.
and on the way back to your house
i heard no words come from your mouth.
and in the fall, on your birthday
i spent two weeks trying to find a
thing i knew you'd always wanted.
and two weeks later, i found out that you'd sold it.
when i came home for easter break
you took me out to dinner with
friends i hadn't seen in months.
but i couldn't tell if you were one of them.
it isn't that i think that you owe me.
i just wish that you wouldn't ask me
what it was i wanted for christmas
if you weren't gonna get it for me in the first place
