People don’t cry
over days that never were
Nobody minds
those who aren’t there
No one walks
in a nonexistent sphere
And I don’t mind
that you’re no longer here
*
Oh, I don’t mind
because we never were
No you and I
No, your heart was never here
And I don’t mind
that you’re no longer there
*
Bees don’t hum
towards flowers that aren’t there
Roosters won’t crow
sunless in the hay
The rain won’t come
without a breezy bit of air
And I don’t mind
that you’re no longer here
*
Oh, I don’t mind
over and done
And I am just alright
No place in time
for you and I
And I don’t mind
No, I do not mind
*
This clock of mine
high up on the wall
it gnaws away time
and I’m alright
*
This space in time
is all just mine
No worries I
am simply fine
Oh, I don’t mind
*
I know you’ll be fine
Oh, in your time
such a careless kind of mind
Oh, don’t you cry
not a single sigh
for the roads you never built
Oh, don’t you sigh
for the words you never quilled
Oh, don’t you sigh
for the ice that wouldn’t melt
oh, don’t sigh
for the love you never felt
Don’t feign to cry
You’ll be just fine
*
And I don’t mind
No worries for I
I no longer mind
