i've tried so hard to erase you
i take someone new to all our places
trying to overwrite you.

the sights and the sounds, the smells
hold onto you relentlessly
and everyone new i bring to hide you
behind new memories
only are tainted by the ghost of you

i can still see you leaning there on the corner
running a hand through your hair
my mind recalls you effortlessly

like you were always a part of the corner
like instead of you clinging to only my world
the world cannot cease to remember you too.
