you used to lurk around every corner.
you'd pop out at the most unnecessary times
like maybe i was listening to a song you liked
or someone with your name flashed on tv.
when you were mentioned in conversation,
you creeped up behind my back, in the very forefront of my mind
i loved to talk about how you were my problem.
my unanswered question.
my disagreement.
but now, every time i glance at a photo of you
or see your sister at school
i laugh to myself
because you were my problem,
now there's a solution.
you were my unanswered question,
now the mystery's solved.
you were my disagreement,
now i agree with myself.
you used to lurk around every corner
but now you only come out when i need you to
