life is not a picnic

for E.A.

Come over today. Come be with me.
I know there's a three-hour time diff...
And yeah, I'll foot the bill for those tickets.

Don't bother bringing anything.
I've got spare clothes, a toothbrush,
and all that stuff.

Listen, I know I'm acting all messed up,
like a kid throwing a fit,
but I'm feeling really crappy.
"haHayim ze lo picnic"*, as you often say.
Life is not a picnic.

It would mean the world if you could
just swing by for a couple of days.

Hey, I get how it sounds.
Actually, I don't want to hook up
with all my exes..

I'm kind of lost
and not sure what I want.
I guess I'm just trying to fill
this emptiness inside
'cause nothing else seems
to be working.

Just come over already.
And hey, let your boyfriend
stay a bit longer in NY.

And you know what?
I still have some feelings for you.



*haHayim ze lo picnic (ивр.) - жизнь - не пикник.

Very emotional and therefore impressive!
That's right - to give freedom of feelings and try to understand the real point of things...:) A good poem)

Thanks, Christie, your words mean a lot :)
Am I just screwing everything up..? Look at what I'm doing with my life... Will I ever settle down..?
