hey God it's me again
longing for a connection so deep i wonder if you made them just for me
i’m holding these hands together tighter so that you sense the severity
it’s getting lonely
i know you’re teaching me something
i’m always getting lessons
everywhere i turn it’s shared laughter and new adventures
groups of girls and i’m asking myself where they found each other
and if it’s a piece of heaven every time they reconnect
once a social butterfly somehow shoved into the cocoon
how’d this happen?
i know you’re teaching, but God can you just tell me?
i know i’m silly to question
and “it comes when you least expect it”
