In your name is an extra "e"
so people always spell it wrong
and they tell me you get mad because you say it is the French spelling
I can see you writing your name carefully on your test papers
and I can see you making the extra "e" bigger than all the letters
just a bit
just so they know it is there
because maybe your parents were French
or maybe it is your dream to run away there
but you hold that extra "e" close to your heart
somewhere I will never be
I know that you and I will never meet
But still, I can see you laughing at me
And maybe even crying with me
Carrying all the weight of that extra "e"
