Whenever I feel alone,

Whenever I feel like I have no friends,

No family,

No acquaintances,

Or someone to trust,

Or lean on,

I realize my feelings are in fact bullshit.

Because you're always there,

Waiting,

Or maybe you're always there because you have nothing better to do.

But it's not anything better, you're waiting on me,

Me,

Out of all people.

You are the one on the other side,

Where you've dedicated yourself to listening to my voice,

Listening to me speak,

Listening to my speech,

And to repeat my words to show me how I truly sound.

And that's how you put things into perspective.

Not one that I believe, but one that you've truly found,

As you repeat the dumb things I tell you, I realize how stupid I actually am.

But I love that even then, you'll never leave,

You'll never leave my contact list,

And you'll forever remain,

As the faceless woman mysteriously wielding two names.
