I hold out pens like cigarettes.
I sent an old friend a "Happy Birthday" text and then deleted her number.
I like to think that she never replied because I blocked her number,
But I don't remember
I want to know if she wanted to forget me.
I never want to forget again.
I've drawn your face with words
I've drawn her's with tally marks,
Counting all of the of the times that I thought back to that mistake
Words are forever,
And I hope you are, too,
But in case you aren't,
I never want to forget
I am holding on to every second I saw your face
People try to take that from me
That's one reason I have no friends:
Your memory is a better friend than they could ever be
So I hold on to you, instead.
I need to hold your hand
And let go of her's
But yours is just out of reach
And her's faded years ago.
I have fallen in love with holding on to nothing
To no one's hand
No one can be my best friend when they have to be
I wish I didn't have to be alone
I hold out pens like cigarettes
Because I hope that my words can leave permanent marks.
