It’s sunk in deep, the

stress is here so just pray to

God it’ll leave us be.

We sat stranded

wishing we’d taken a

different way

having no choice but to

wait the road out.

Your dates are seared

into my mind,

locked into my memory

so I spent the day wondering

if mine are in yours.

Tomorrow’s that day

I remember all year long.

Memories upon memories

all stacked up.

Some are bittersweet

some are wonderful

and then there’re
some everything in between.

Whisper in my ear

all those secrets you hid,

all those questions you never asked,

all those messages you didn’t send.
Whisper in my ear
everything you never said.

You tell me

“Don’t smoke love,”

but the truth behind it is

that they’re better for my

health than you are.

I’d like to say

you still make my heart

beat quick and

my stomach flutter

but I always said

that I’d never lie to you
and if I’m perfectly honest

with you then I have to say

the butterflies have left

my heart and the
elephant herd has laid down

to sleep in my stomach.
