Bee-Shaped Pin

You bought me a bar of soap from the festival in Buninyong Because you know how much I love the scent of lemongrass You saw the way my eyes close whenever you lift my shirt beyond my waist You know, you helped me learn to love myself I miss holding your hand in the backseat, rest your head on my lap in a homebound taxi Thank you for all the peace you brought my mind You still know me better than my own best friend I wonder how that thought sits with you Bee-shaped pin on my collar, like you're wishing me luck at my 31st job interview You heard I'd never thrown a frisbee in my whole life So you took it upon yourself to buy one and teach me You stayed up all those countless nights just to talk to me and make it all right You really knew how to fix things I miss holding your hand to my cheekbone Brush away all my doubts with a stroke of your thumb Thank you for all the peace you brought my mind You still know me better than my own twin sister I wonder how that thought sits with you Bee-shaped pin on my collar Like you're right with me as I move across the country from you I miss drawing in a deep breath every time your mouth came down to meet my neck Thank you for all the peace you brought my mind I miss holding you close on the sidewalk Rest your head on mine with a kiss and a gentle whisper Thank you for all the peace you brought my mind You still know me better than my own mum and dad I wonder how that thought sits with you Bee-shaped pin on my collar, like you're by my side as I'm on stage with a full view And I saw without colours before we first met You pulled me so damn far away I dried the flowers you picked me on your way from school They're still at home in the interstate Bee-shaped pin on my collar, and you're far away. I still wish all the best for you Bee-shaped pin on my collar, and you're far away. I still wish all the best for you
