I’m very optimistic no one will find me here
here you can write a few things about sadness
and hissing cassette tapes
where the amber smiles reside
and tomorrow’s sunrise
had yet to meet us at the horizon
I write with certainty I won’t be found
I know this in my heart and slowing veins
I know because you have your own place
and you would rather remain there too
optimistic of your hidden sadness
that no one knows about and no one wants:
but don’t say too much, just in case.
