Just because you spoke my name in a new way does not mean that it is yours You held my hand and broke my heart with similar intentions Yet here you are in my mind and on my lips even though I'm pretty sure I let go of you months ago I've held the ribs of new souls and we did things I learned to do with you But I can't seem to smudge away your finger traced lines encircling my body I remind myself of the things I said I would never do And giving into you was recently added Yet here you are on my mind and in my bed How you escaped my traps of getting rid of you I'll never know All I ever wanted was to memorize your heart beat and have that tune beside me for as long as I could still hear Sometimes I cant remember what it sounds like and those are days I breath new air But it's nights like right now Where all I can hear is my own heart And it sounds an awful lot like yours

It's 1am and I'm pretty sure I have a cold
