A dripping tap
nails down a blackboard
a car alarm that won't shut up
probably your old ford.
The feel of cotton wool,
or the scratchy surface of a fabric bag
that weird voice you put on,
and insults you fire just to make me mad.
But when the tap is fixed
the annoying thing is
that you kinda miss
the sound in the sink when the water drops in.
Everything changes,
and I'm down with that,
but it feels the strangest
now we're not back to back.
And you have someone else
who's got yours
and that's awesome
but weirdly different from before.
I guess the point is,
I got kinda attached
to the puppy I trained
but then had to give back.
Only that's not right -
because I'm pretty sure you trained me,
but never mind, whatever,
you know what I mean.
So maybe I just need to say thank you,
because I wanted to show,
that I blame you in part for the things that I know.
I've learnt not to judge,
assume,
or expect the worst,
and that when it comes to shotgun,
chocolate pastries come first.
I know, this is proper soft,
I'm maybe going daft?
I can't help it sometimes
and I'm sorry for that
(but not so sorry that a full apology
is needed, 'cause you hate them,
especially from me!)
Okay, that's enough of this,
but just before you go,
where did you learn to be the most annoying person I know?
