leaving myself over there
I don’t care
what I could miss
might be a kiss
but that’s not real
not even a deal
there’s no festive season
and you don’t have any reason
that I could feel this way
anyway
my advice is this
don’t prepare for a kiss
prepare for nothing
so there won’t be anything
that goes wrong
just be strong
and you might be surprised
one day.
