Where did you bury the boy you used to be
If I knew where
I would dig him up instantly
I would break open his casket and shake him awake, and then ask him
Why would he ever put me through such ache
He was so polite with his indifference
Can you blame me for playing naive
As if I knew he was going to leave
They say when someone touches you
Your skin cells are replaced after 4 weeks
So I know your fingerprints are no longer a part of me
As if words can be used to describe
something missing
I remember all the good like it’s being shoved down me constantly
And some may say that I am a hopeless romantic
But without you, I am more hopeless and less romantic
I don’t want to unlearn your favourite colour and have someone new learn mine
How was it fair that you can smile when I am not near
The thought of it makes me tear up
A part of me wants to feel
But I truly need to heal
And now I am wrapped around your hand
It's pathetic what one does for the love of a man
And I know it’s not forever
But I would rather have some than never
