As the tide washed in the Dutch tulip man faced the ocean, &quot;Conjoiner rejoinder poisoner concealer revelator, look at it: rising up and rising down, taking everything with it.&quot;<br /> &quot;What&#039;s that?&quot; Anna asked.<br /> &quot;Water,&quot; said the Dutchman, &quot;Well, and time.&quot;

I waited
So so long for you yesterday
For you to say
"I love you"
Or "be my valentine"
Or "we should hang out more"
But you didn't 
And I don't know why
I read the signs wrong

The most disappointing thing
Is expecting so little of someone
And not even receiving that.

What a shame
That I am so shy
And that you might not even like me.

What a shame.
