Since you last saw me

I've cut my own hair once 

and gotten a haircut twice

I've been to Japan in autumn

and to Seoul on days like ice 

I don't think I still have 

any of the clothes I would've worn 

to the mall when we would eat out 

despite the crowds we used to scorn 

Somehow I've doubled my paycheck

I'm even budgeting, you'd be so proud

Somehow I've made it a thousand days 

but I barely remember how

You're always crossing my mind 

when "Cherish" plays on my way home

I promise I'm taking care of myself 

and I never have to do it alone

I've perfected the sauce I ruined 

Your brownie recipe is in my Notes

I don't think I'll ever make it 

(It's just that I miss your cooking the most)
