Just when I thought I packed all of you away
Tucked safe in the corner of my closet

I found your sweatshirt hanging
Amongst my own

The heavy gray one
You wore when you told me you loved me

It still smells like you
Somehow, everything I own smells like you

I washed my sheets
But the scent of your skin lingers

I’m starting to think
My own skin took on the scent of you
You continue to pop up just when I thought I got rid of you.
Sometimes I imagine myself
strolling through a museum
of my love life.

My soles click on the cold stone
and it reverberates
through the grand halls.

My relationships are there.
Stuffed to mimic real life,
and safely behind glass.

The idea is that I can study them.
Learn from them
in a detached kind of way.

But I never do.
I stroll, and I pause, and I admire,
but I never learn.

We're breaking ground
on a new annex
next month.
Remember that day when we were sitting in the stairs?
the day we kissed for long hours
I decided I wanted to stop time there.
Everything was just amazingly perfect.
But then it was over,
I went one way, you went another.
My perfect moment was dead, gone.
And now as I remember you kissing me
when you gave me a kiss in every single part
claiming it yours before anybody else
how you kissed my eyelids, my nose.
I don´t know if you remember.
I do.
And it hurts.
Every single thing you touched in me burns
it consumes my every happiness.
my will to move on.
How did you do?
How did you forget?
I guess you are lucky.
Or maybe you just don't care.
But please, I beg you
Help me forget.
Sit out under the trees in front of the house
The bench I sit feel the cold night breeze
The moonlight reflects casting light making shadows
Spiders drop from the tree branches
See the moon through the tree branches
Open patches through the leafs
Think about life reflect moments and store
The quiet tension sets the mood the smell of moist in the air
Feel the mood of the moon the quiet night
Fresh until you feel the bugs bite
Relax feel you could sleep in peace for the rest of the night
Thankful for the tree accepts me and let's me be
Never will I find
Somebody with your heart
Always filled with joy
And peace everytime

Now looking into your eyes
I see what I didn't want,
They don't look kind
They look tired

And now I realize
How lucky I was,
Always had you by my side

All I can say now is
Please just stay one more night,
We can talk, we can do anything you want
But don't leave my side
