Who I Be

I see you everywhere
I miss your hugs
But I’m taken
Forsaken
And lonely in your eyes
Where are you?
Your number’s on my phone
I can’t erase it
Won’t expunge it
Man, you don’t know what you’ve done
You’re older
And hey, you play guitar
Can’t help that
I can’t help that I see you
You working at Captain D’s
Waiting for me to come by
Order my regular; fish sticks and fries
And sit here
Talking to you
Asking, “How was Prom?”
“How’s your girlfriend?”
“What’s she up to?”
Man, I’m jealous
I can’t help it that I hate her
I abhor her; you adore her
What happened to that fling that WE had?
Band camp is soon coming…
You, with your baritone, I with my marimba
Neither can march
So I guess we’re stuck in Limbo
But I hate lying to you
“No, I’m single”
Too bad for me
I rid myself of everyone, just to be worthy
Worthy of your hugs
I hate trying to explain myself to him
But you seem to see right through me
The true me
That you see
That shines so brightly; loosely
You know how I act
And the way that I am
You know everything
About me
All that I’ve hailed from
Which ocean and sea
You know who I am
Yes, you know who I be
You know who my mama is
You know where I live
You know how to make me laugh
Make me accept, make me give
Everything I had for you
I could’ve given it all away
But you said, “in the future”
So I’d never waste a day
You’re in the deep recesses
That consume my playful mind
I can’t stand it that I hate you
But I love you from behind
And no one understands this
They all say, “He’s just wrong”
But I feel like I’m a bluebird
And he’s singing my rightful song
My mate, my boy, my brother
You’re everything I know
And you’re a senior next year
And I’ll hate it when you go
Oh yes, you know who you are
I’m dying for your kiss
I hate it how you love her
It’s you that I can’t miss
I must be frickin’ crazy
Aw man, I think I’m going insane
But I hate it how you play with me
Screwing up my brain
Cus I know that you know everything
You interpret everything I see
You know who I am, who I was, where I hailed from
But most of all, you know who I be.
