5. Oubaitori

Eye to the telescope
And we were singing along
But I never wanted a rival
It just came about when
Our similarities enshrined themselves
Our differences exiled themselves

A certain yearning exists
When you provide your own edification
To enmesh yourself with yourself
You were so close
A carnival mirror
A copper pan

The hibiscus is in bloom today
By the time I see them again
The flowers will be shriveled
Clinging half-heartedly to their branches
But more will come again tomorrow

I too am fond of the first stanza, and enjoy the image of two people singing along with a song. Or, perhaps an entire album if you're referencing KT Tunstall? :)

It was a bit of a KT Tunstall reference! That album was the soundtrack of a vacation one of my exes and I took together, and it was thinking about that that got it in my mind. Nice catch ;)
