\"I wish I could hear you more often,\" he says.
One day it will all just be too normal,
too usual, is all I hear.
\"You\'re pretty,\" he says.
But pretty will be a mere word years later,
is all I hear.
\"I am jealous of everyone around you who get to see you every day,\" he says.
But you will be another thing I see every day,
like everyone is,
is all I hear.
\"You’re my everything,\" he says.
But everything always turns into nothing,
is all I hear.
\"You make me feel alive,\" he says.
But life is a fleeting guest,
and guests always leave,
is all I hear.
\"I’ll never let you go,\" he says.
But forever is just a word
people borrow until it breaks,
is all I hear.
You say all these things,
and all I hear is you leaving
