You Know Who You Are

Its not surprising that when I look at my room I see you
I see you in the bed sheets and the rug, you know who you are
There’s a turtle at the head of my bed that you held
A stuffed dog that you made out with, you know who you are
Its not surprising that I can hear your voice when I’m listening
To the songs that repeat from my computer’s speakers
There’s a spot in my room where we both sat, its not surprising
That when I see my mirror, you’re there too, you know who you are
I suppose I should have expected this when we parted, that
When I’d go through my files, there you’d be dancing
We taped a fake make out session on my bed and bought
For the first time cigarettes that we never smoked
Its not surprising at all, you know who you are
There’s a place in the mall that was our place, you recall
You shared a space on my bed one night, as well
Because your back was aching, it always was, you remember
I’m sure no one else will understand, you know who you are
We have seen each other rise and fall, soar and hit rock bottom
Laughs and tears and joy and fear and guys at restaurants
Its not surprising that I miss you still, though all was for the best
I still want to see your wedding, though we won’t have a double
As we had planned, I still believe you’re destined for greatness
Maybe, as we fancied, I’ll still be your black clad maid
I hope our paths will cross again, I still look back on the bridge I burned
Someday maybe we’ll swim the gap and found our society after all
Until that day, if it does come, when it does come, forget me not
Its not surprising that I don’t have to say who its for, if you read this
You know who you are.
