NOT THERE…

I am not there

For anyone to remember.

I am not there

For anyone to care.

You can calculate well,

For you are so practical.

I am too impractical to calculate.

So I am not there.

What if I were there?

There would be so much trouble.

But I want trouble for no one.

So I better not be there.

I will drift away

And will not be there

In your practical world

Of your practical thoughts.

I will save you the trouble

And the thoughts and calculations,

And the responsibilities and expectations

By not being there.

There will be no one to intrude

And no one to bother

And no one to disturb and trouble,

If I am not there.

One less bell to answer,

One less call to take,

One less person to live,

If I am not there.

You will always be there

In your world of reality

And in my world of dreams.

But I will not be there…
