I remember how you would
Surprise me so beautifully that I wouldn’t believe that its real
You would be up all night
Making me gifts
Travelling all night
For me, for us
That love, That look, Those eyes
Where did they go?
And I got lost looking for you
Abandoning myself soo deeply
That I only feel it now
Now after I have sent you away
Now that I no longer need to fix
I get to grieve
Even though you wanted to fix it
I couldn’t hold
Oh How you would always get me
Something small from a small shop
Out of no reason
Out of pure belonging
Where did you go for years now?
That I had to kill the girl
Who would be happy to the wait
Another decade
All those little things
All those true smiles
Where did they go?
When I needed them to remember
All I could be
All I am left with
Is a high bar that you set
No one matches up to that
Not even you, anymore
You changed
I stayed
I changed
I left
It is a shame to know
How real things, end too.
