I took you to all of the places I remembered as ours, with patience, moving slowly to keep the past of us alive / We kept going, I spoke without saying words, but you understood just as much without me needing to explain / The city was asleep and the night quiet / I saw the glow of your eyes reflecting off the blackened sky / Above the buildings were lights kept from holiday seasons, still lit, like they were begging to be noticed / It was a kind of reminder, symbol for a Christmas we spent together but separate / I wondered how we got here from where we used to be / The heart that once held yours is mine to call it, but I don’t want to / To claim the space of it is useless, the empty, is of no use to a hollow being and this showing you around is nothing more than a dream that never happened, one that never will.
