And there you are again
Oozing from the street signs and making my stomach quiver with all the bumps on
our favorite road
I watch you in the leaves that dance around tree trunks only to sink to cold grass today.
In a months time
Ill look at the leaves and they'll be just that
Leaves.
The hole in the wall diner in town won't remind me of our first date anymore
It'll just be a diner
And you'd think a thought like that could comfort me
You'd think I'd be happy that I'm slowly disentangling you from my days.
But one day
One somber day
I'll listen to 'come and get your love' and I'll ride a skateboard or chew that minty gum you like so much
And I won't see you anywhere
And although I lost you physically today
The day Ive forgotten every misplaced hair on your head
And the wind doesn't bring your scent to my face
When my friends haven't asked about you in a while
And when your name doesn't flicker in my mind
Then I'll have really lost you
And you'll be so far from me and
there will be nothing left of who
we used to be
