we are two different species living in the same world,
so how am i supposed to win your heart?

i like reading harry potter books and fantasizing
about boys in hats and wizard robes

and you like to read about chords and key changes
while you try to learn the flow of the songs.

i like to write about girls falling in love with
music and boys and themselves while they
try to discover what life is--

and you like to write about dreams you've had
and scribbled down in a midnight stupor.

i love you for your heart and your mind
(even if it is filled with new wave nonsense and
religion) so i wish you could love me too.
