With the Exception of You

With the Exception of You

I like to imagine that you don't exist

(this is a lie, I don't like it at all)

That you were but a daydream

That I have woken up from 

Everything goes back to the way it was

Because, really, not much has 

Changed for me

With the exception of you

I wake up

The room is the same, okay, 

those are new curtains  

But still looks the same

And through my suddenly new curtains

I see the same cars, just in a different order

The same flowers, just different colors

Even the sirens and horns and the conversations are the same

But wait

The day has changed

It's lengthening not shortening

The light is increasing

All around me 

How is this possible

When you are not here

I mean, where did you go anyway

Or better yet

Where did you come from

I was crying

Suddenly you were there

Figment
