Crybaby heart

I think I've lost my mind
Because I see you in every thing 

I see your eyes in blue sky's
And your smile in the clouds

And I hear your voice in the sunset
I hear your singing accompany the crickets 

And your laugh in the wind 
And I know it's only been 3 months since you left 

And I know that means I have 21 left 
But I day dream about you

And every night my fingers ache 
Ache to be intertwined in yours 

And my heart feels just a little more alone 
Like my ribs were never really company
But mearly the bars on its crib
Because it's crying 
Because it wants to be held 
And it wants to be heard 

But I don't indulge in pity
Or making others worry 

So I'll keep the screaming at bay 
With the lullaby 
Of nearly suffocating lungs 
And rememberig to breathe 

Because I used to complain 
That I never felt hungry 
Because I missed you

But apparently 
that may just be a side affect of bronchitis 
Which I don't think I told you I had

But now my stomach is so emotionally gone that all I have is a sense of numbness 
And the only feeling left 
Is my crybaby heart
That doesn't seem to want to sleep 

Because who knows if you are safe
And who knows if you still love me
And who knows if I will make it that far

Because I hear you are losing weight 
But I'm afraid there will be nothing left to hug

And afraid you will realize 
You can do better than me

But I've taken over your family
Which was like a pacifier to my heart
And an Advil to my mind

Because I don't want you to ever stop loving me

I'm surprised

Because I never thought
I would ever like humidity this much
Because I never thought
I could last this long without you

Because days turn into weeks so fast
And rainy days seem to be the only thing 
That reasures me

Because bronchitis is a pain in the butt
And it seems to never go away

Because people are just strangers 
Until you make them into friends
And I've never been very good at that

Because a language barrier is huge
But an ocean is bigger

And seeng monkeys in the field 
And around the house
Isn't quite the same 
when the monkeys aren't people

And I am 
surprised

Just how far I've come

Odd pairs

Smiles and butterflies
Because both are fleeting 
And I always wonder if they are real

Umbrellas and skipping
Because I've never 
experienced both at the same time
Because rain 
was made to be overbearing 
just like me

Girls and video games  
Because I never thought 
having them together 
was a big deal

Anime and real life
Because no two things 
could ever be further apart

My family and outings 
Because we never seem to go out
But when we do
We call it torture

Japan and lights 
Because I never thought Japan 
would have this many lights

Water and skin
Because nothing seemed to fit better 
Until fingers become prunes
And water becomes lukewarm

Japan and me
Because I swear 
we were destined to meet 
And I don't want to go home
