(A tribute)  

The world without you

Ten years on

A lot has changed

We all live in the internet now

You would have liked it here

I think

But you stay exactly as you were

18 years of pieced together pictures

Fossilized and frozen

I pick at the ice today

Ten years on

I would have liked to know you better

I wish you would have waited

To know yourself better too

You’d love the new Radiohead album

I think

I pick at the ice today

Back to the day I grew up

And the day you stopped

I thought you were cool

I said you looked handsome

You smiled

You seemed to mean it

We were just children

But we didn’t know it

The cat was away

So we all played

I told you to stay

And you did

For one night only

Then gone

You left your ipod

So we knew

That something was wrong

Now it’s ten years on
