?

strange things happen to us.
and because we want to understand,
we try our best to spell it out.

but before we even gather the letters
to spell it out,
it's always too late.
we've already misspelled it.

see, it's just like
the minute we get
what we've always wanted,
we suddenly realize
we don't know what we want
anymore.

we've been told about this,
that strange things happen to us.
yet we keep wanting to understand,
keep trying our best to spell it out.

because the last thing we want
is for us to be
strangers.

strangers
to ourselves.
