where've you been?

i broke out of the shell.
funny how things simply falls into place when i let go.
maybe i was afraid for it to crumble.
but now, its all worth it.

just simply a trip to the grocery store pieced my life back together.
bumping blindy into your back after trippin over myself,
you look at me,
comprehension gleaming in your eyes
and go
'hey, where've you been?'
with that smile you do so well.
(ive always had weaknesses for smiles)

'around', i say,
and never did i know,
where you have been,
is simply staying by my side while i neglected you.

and now,
you have your 1o1th chance.
take it, keep it,
and everything will be fine.

won't it?
