You Think You Know

For all you know I have dismissed you
As I do, as we've spoken of
For all you know you are a nonentity
And nothing, not even your presence, affects me.

For all you know my smile hasn't been rehearsed
Instead of being a ruse; a double-meaning
For all you know my tardy, unseen teardrops
Have not a thing to do with you.

For all you know our friendship doesn't register
No bleep, no loss of sleep
No meaning, no screaming, since
I save my screams for the true relationships I've lost.

For all you know I don't miss you
Because my heart only has room for the real
And our laughter was always at somebody else's expense
And I have chosen to live a higher life.

For all you know I have dismissed you
But here's the truth of the matter:  
Since you are always, always right
What you know
is
what
you
know.
