Dear Ghost,
My mom asked if I talk to you anymore
I asked her what for
But in her eyes I saw my own break
She wanted to know about the things
that were still uncertain when you were with me
I told her I don't know anymore
I think she knew the breath it would take
We laughed about how prom season was over
I guess she forgot how I went alone
I told her I'm excited for what's in store
Though my voice cracked over talking about you
And to my friends we laugh about your name
Or about the way you dressed or your hair
And I want to scream that it's not fair
And I want to hope you feel the same
Even though my life is fine without you
Even though I don't want you
There's a burn the shape of your name
And I think I will always feel the same
Because that's what love does to you
