I hope none of you find this inundation of Amanda redundant. But not only are the lyrics perfection, but they are. Written. By. Neil. Gaiman.
I Google you
late at night when I don’t know what to do
I find photos
you’ve forgotten
you were in
put up by your friendsI Google you
when the day is done and everything is through
I read your journal
that you kept
that month in France
I’ve watched you danceAnd I’m pleased your name is practically unique
it’s only you and
a would-be PhD in Chesapeake
who writes papers on
the structure of the sun
I’ve read each oneI know that I
should let you fade
but there’s that box
and there’s your name
somehow it never makes the pain
grow less or fade or disappear
I think that I should save my soul and
I should crawl back in my hole
But it’s too easy just to fold
and type your name again
I fear
I google you
Whenever I’m alone and feeling blue
And each scrap of information
That I gather
says you’ve got somebody new
And it really shouldn’t matter
ought to blow up my computer
but instead….
I google you
