Now that we’re not supposed to
be close to one another,
I find that I don’t miss the company.
I don’t miss my mother,
I find that I don’t miss the company.
I don’t miss my mother,
it’s fair to say, though she’s
been gone forever—
you understand, I’m exaggerating.
I was very close to my mother
you understand, I’m exaggerating.
I was very close to my mother
until she left me here to
suffer
by myself as I was meant to be.
Then there’s the matter of my father.
by myself as I was meant to be.
Then there’s the matter of my father.
My father loved me, but he was
always rather
self-absorbed—not much time for me.
I don’t miss my father,
self-absorbed—not much time for me.
I don’t miss my father,
or my mother either, because
they are
always here with me, even though long dead.
Likewise you, now that we’re not supposed to be close to one another,
I feel like I can feel you
close as ever,always here with me, even though long dead.
Likewise you, now that we’re not supposed to be close to one another,
and I don’t know if you’re like me,
but now that we’re not supposed to be close to one another,
I sure do miss my mother!
