In a month's Time

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
