Oh June

Sweet June, take me with you

when you come and go.

April wears these long skirts,

and falls in love.

May insists balancing

my sleep is a big deal.

 

June, I know you love me.

June, I hope you love me.

 

Took my birth certificate

to the town hall

changed my name for real.

Met some people,

changed it back,

the paper is the point.

 

June, I know you love me.

June, tell me you love me.

 

Fumbled over my shirt

in June, I lost my shirt

found it by the rocks

left it by the rocks,

and let the sea

rename me.

 

June, I know you love me.

June, please try to love me.

 

If you come and find me

I’ll be dancing here

I’ll be spinning here

hiding from you

(you’ll find me anyway)

you know where I belong

 

June, you know I love you.
