It's Hello World
This time, it's hello Salt
Not really hello, but
Just a writing to you
I'm sorry that until lately
I never appreciated you enough
And that it took this much
For me to show you love
Or if I had you feeling
Like you weren't enough
And for the ways
That I did refer to you as co-mmon
I know, I kinda sucked
Attention, I never paid you much
Except for when it was time
To fix up a meal and/or
To make one pop
And yet you were almost ever ready
There on the counter, shelf
Or cupboards waiting to serve
You had given a reason
For the word taste to even be used
Together with buds and
Have been man's loyal servant too
But we only seem to acknowledge dogs
I've been hurt since the doc
Said that I couldn't have you much
That it was best
If we kept our distance
Through the short breaths
And all the exhaustion
It's Hello World
This time, it's hello Salt
Not really hello, but
Just a writing to you
I'm sorry that until lately
I never appreciated you enough
And that it took this much
For me to show you love
Or if I had you feeling
Like you weren't enough
And for the ways
That I did refer to you as co-
Mmon. I know
I kinda sucked
Attention
I never paid you much
Except for when it was time
To fix up a meal and/or
To make one pop
And yet you were almost ever ready
There on the counter, shelf
Or cupboards waiting to serve
You had given a reason
For the word taste to even
Be used together with buds and
Have been man's loyal servant too
But we only seem
To acknowledge dogs
I've been hurt since the doc
Said that I couldn't have you much
That it was best
If we kept our distance
Through the short breaths
And all the exhaustion
Faultless, we both were
Despite the cause
All I know is I
I want you back
In my life and right now
Take me back to the time
When we had each other
We haven't said our goodbyes
In my life and right now
Take me back to the time
When we had each other
We haven't said our goodbyes
While on the phone talking with mom
I could tell by the tone of her voice
She was holding back her tears
And it broke my heart
It was just about a week since
I'd been lying
In bed in the hospital
After I checked myself in
Struggled through
In and out of the taxi
Blood pressure reading
Capped at 150/152, G
My dad's tough
Even though I see
Through his armor
That he's like you and me
So I saved them both
Some of the details
And said that I was fine
Well, at the time, I was fine
And grateful too!
For health, for peace!
My roommate was on dialysis
Amputated, and blind. To eat
He needed help and to shit and piss
And to move
So I'mma count my blessings
And as I keep healing, Salt
I hope I never
Have to say again that
I want you back
In my life and right now
Take me back to the time
When we had each other
We haven't said our goodbyes
In my life and right now
Take me back to the time
When we had each other
We haven't said our goodbyes
Thank you, Salt
For all your service
You're much appreciated
Faultless, we both were

I want you back
In my life and right now
