I'm doing everything We said we'd do Together. (What a horrible word, together) Taking the trips, Swimming in the lakes, Yes, I swam in a lake. More like a river... But I did it Without you. Visited Mt. Scott, Saw the longhorns, Drove the exact same routes As last spring. Without you. Funny how fate is so cruel That I'm thrown back to Exactly where we were. Were. Still past tense, still painful. Still facing ghosts, still facing memories Exact replication of what was. Here I am, stuck in the in-between. And you, where are you? Gone, my ghost. Off to haunt someone else.

Retrace Your Steps.
