I smelled your shirt tonight
Remember the one you took off before you left and tossed at me?
Said I could keep it for a memory.
It was an accident,
I didn't want to smell it,
To
smell
you.
It reminded me of the night before you left,
We stayed up talking half the night about you leaving,
being sad but anxious and happy too
I just
held
you
Watched you sleep, wondered about your dreams
I didn't sleep that night
Stayed up all night and cried
I knew I was gonna miss you
And it was gonna hurt so bad
To watch you go
But when I just smelled your shirt
It didn't make me sad
*Not
even
mad*
It was just another memory
Of the mistakes I've made and learned from
*I've
let
it all
go*
I guess I just wanted you to know
That even if you don't want it,
**I've
forgiven
you.**
Tomorrow?
I'm gonna wash that shirt
And stop thinking about you.
