Nobody owes me anything
In this great big place
We call Earth
Not a single person
Owes me a thing

I'm not nihilistic
But sometimes I find myself feeling
Like the lives we bear
Don't have much meaning at all-
Assigned meaning, perhaps
But nothing permanent

Of all days,
I thought I could spend today with you
And it's not like you chose not to
You just stumbled into someone else's plans

I can't be mad at you
Because you don't owe me anything
But I can be mad at myself
For thinking you do
