So, you say...


Ok so you think I´m weird.

Weird because I sing on the street.

Because some days I dance with my eyes shut and I unbutton my shirts.

Weird, because I can kiss your neck without asking your name.

Weird in what sense?

Ok, so you say, I am strange.

Because I can have a terrible dream about you being killed and text you in the morning to see if you are well. Even if we haven´t talked in ages. I do hope you are well.

You consider strange the fact that I would rather spend my days with you than waiting for a cryptic message that I will not get.

Strange because I can say yes. Over and over again.

You think I may be a bit odd.

The biggest issue being my lack of contradictions. My being straight forward and maybe too confident. Yes. Too confident - that´s what you say.

Maybe I do know what I want. But maybe I only want that today.

Maybe tomorrow I will be a whole different weirdness.

You´ll miss the bright in my eyes, the taste of my face and the smell of my hair. You´ll miss all the breakfasts I would have made. You´ll miss my dreams. You will not taste my lips.You will miss it all.

Just because.

You say all that. But there´s another side of things.  There always is.

Maybe you are the weird one. Your escapes are strange. Your decisions odd.  Your prejudice is wrong and the the colour of your eyes, fake.

Maybe you should get a weirdness test. Check your insurance policy and find out how different you can be and still get covered.  See how many grams of strangeness you can eat with your five a day without gaining any extra weight.

Or.

You can just…
