Do you notice when I’m not there
When I’m not around
Do you stop or even frown
Or does it not keep you down
Cause to me your presence is unspoken for
And when you’re not around leave me paranoid like an open door
With the lights off
Not knowing not
Not know what’s … Out there
You’ve got nothing to fear they whispered in my ear
As a child as a way to sculp my mind
But time is too tricky for me
For us
As it feels like I’m lost when you’re not around
And I hope you think of me or even keep me in mind
Cause when you’re around be I feel high
You’re presence is like thc to me
No cloud I can’t reach in the sky
But it’s best you leave me be
It’s best I don’t fall for you
So please distance yourself
Before I become damaged again
And I want to love you but it’s too much pain
- Isaiah Mootoo
