As You Please – Written Monday 13th September 1997 (Aged 22)

As You Please

as you please
because it means nothing to you
then it means little help me
as you do,
if it seems old to you
then i will not see it as new
as you are,
if you think happens all the time
then i will not argue with that
i will just save the time
as you feel,
if you just want to go on
then i will leave the field
and i will put it down to experience
but experiences become my expenses
and through the way we live
it is clear experiences can seem rich
but rich does mean expensive
and i have only got so much to give
as you please,
maybe in a few months
maybe in may weeks
but for now, it is as you please
