Not Expecting Both Contempo and Classique

Admiring paper on my wall
 How many really take the time?
 There may not seem that much creative latitude
 But that's the challenge of design
 The curves intuitively know
 Which aspects of nouveau to save
 Without succumbing to the full devouring will
 Of Aubrey Beardsley in his grave
 I'm not expecting that I'll end up with you just because I need to
 I shouldn't count on having air around me just because I breathe
 I've thought about it for awhile now and I'm okay with things not being okay
 I'm trying to mean that I don't care
 I'm learning not to be around
 I'm on my feet, I'm on the phone demanding answers
 Maybe I'd better just sit down
 I'm not expecting that I'll end up with you just because I need to
 I shouldn't count on having air around me just because I breathe
 I've thought about it for awhile now and I'm okay with things not being okay
