The Best Answer

You sat me down, stern look in hand
Asked me all the tough questions
“Where do you see yourself in five years?
Well little girl? How about in ten?”

The funniest part of it being your lack of
Knowledge about the impending situation
If you knew me at all you would know
I constantly am thinking about this

But giving a straight answer
Being decidedly out of fashion
I avoided the question
Instead put on a coy smile

“Where do you see me in five minutes?”
I retorted, staring adoringly in you eyes
Something changed in your eyes then
A trigger was pulled, a shot gone off

So much easier to avoid than give in
Abating intensity that seriousness brings
No need to think about the future
Live in the here and now

You come back was amazing
Award winning at best
Silence is the best answer
When it comes right down to it
