Did I say it was the shortest day?

Did I say it was 
the shortest day?

If I did, it was a lie.

There were so many days 

so much 

shorter. So less long. 

But it sounded

better 

in the song. We took 

our time, we boiled 

the water

and watched 

the pot. We added 

the oil. We strung 

together the same 

old words but 

all in 

all 

in all different 

orders. You were 

gone and I was still 

where I've 

always been,

which is wherever

I'm waiting for you.
