where have you been?
i havent seen you in a while
lets meet. exchange sordid tales of our lives
sit on the edge of the sea , sip on some caffeine 

Where have you been? 
I don’t know what your voice sounds like now
Is it still soft with love 
And dripping with innocence 
Or has age made you tired and angry
Like it did to me 

Where have you been?
My only child
The one with the eyes that grew so big
When I put you on my lap and told
You things and ideas and stories and 
Warned you about a cruel world

Come back to me. 
Meet me again
By the sea. 
Let me rock you to sleep
And kiss your soft cheeks
