Perfect Symmetry

To Jini as she turns sixteen.
To friendship.

Perfect Symmetry
If I saw the world as a shadeless sea,
Black, white, greys, all over thee,
Then I'd wish I knew,
If I shine the same as you.
Then you'd mean more, mean more to me,
Than any colour I could see.

If the world sang to me, a silent song,
And I would never be able to sing along,
Then I'd wish I could hear the birds as they fly,
Like vibeless strings, in the sky.
Then you'd be more precious, you'd be rare,
Than any music, I could ever hear.

If I woke up on straw, and slept on streets,
And I would never be able to own, enough coloured sheets,
Then I'd wish I were a glorious star,
With cans, crowns and shiny cars,
You'd still mean more, mean more in turn,
Than any penny, I could ever earn.

So I guess, that's how it's going be.
If I have you and you have me,
The world shall be in perfect symmetry.
