Something Good – Bic Runga

I

Would like to introduce myself

I would like to be able to introduce myself

I would like to be able to look you dead in the eye and say

Hi

Without these butterflies

And this feeling all giddy and high

So

Hi.

I’m an Aquarian

I’m a Wiccan

I’m a dreamer

I spend far too much time in my head

For better or worse

For formulation of exquisite prose

Or inhabiting the places that nobody knows but me

I say what I think

But I don’t mean what I say

I mean what I write

And sometimes I just

Sing

I love my bed

Did I mention I’m messy?

And I’m a mess

I’m addicted to cheese

I’m addicted to Dr. Pepper

I’m addicted to self-sabotage.

I work in a bookshop

But I prefer writing than reading by far

I have three grandparents

Two cats

One sister (at uni)

Both my parents are teachers and very sensible with it

I

I think

I know it’s ridiculous

I know you don’t know me

I don’t know you

But I

I think

I might

Someday

Not today, but someday

I think

I might fall in love with you
