Of and For Myself

on these sunny days
it never crossed my mind;
a million questions,
diluted and forgotten

giving and taking
of and for myself
giving and taking and
giving and taking
of and for myself

Winding around you,
your lovesick little fool
when I think of it
just enough, but not too much

giving and taking
of and for myself
giving and taking and
giving and taking
of and for myself

you, you were shameless
and I was complacent
how could we have known?
how could we have ever known?

giving and taking
of and for myself
giving and taking and
giving and taking
of and for myself
