We don't need to be always together
We don't need to talk all the time
Although that would be nice
We don't need to message each other all the time
We don't need to be happy all the time
Although that sounds nice
Cause you and I
We can't afford the romance that they are selling to us
That kind that we see in movies, in fairy tales, in poems...
Cause you and I
Are real people, who don't have all the time, who feel tired
From the struggles of wanting to survive
We can't afford the sparkly, shiny romance
That promises to taste sweet all the time
What we can afford, however
Is friendship that understands--
That I am here,
And you are there.
And on precious moments, we can afford
We can meet and talk
I don't need to take much of your time
But I am happy to be a part of your rest stops when you pause.
