Seven hundred nights

I sleep alone

And I know for sure that some people

Who I know

They sleep 700 nights

with someone

.

And those people who sleep together for 700 days

Does the existence with someone hurt them as much

missing someone

hurts me

Are they used to it

Did they every night

From 700 nights

say

Thank you

Like I wondered every night

Why

.

And would I like you

more

If you were there

each of those 700 nights

In this way your absence

Created a fictional man

Who kisses the best

Who listens the best

Which fits best into maybe

In the whole wide world

And that maybe sounds so good

That it turns 699th night

Into this seven hundredth

.

In the end

although I know many people

Who 700 days sleep together

On the same bed

Do all those

someone else’s love

look better

From 700 nights

Without you

If you're too tired to go out tonight, just think how you'll feel at seventy two!
