it's been so long since we've spoken
and experience tells me i should be over it by now

i know the tears should have dried sometime around six months
and i know i should have been able to shake the memories off for sure by a year

but the months creep on and i still feel your absence like you left yesterday
my own nightmares tell me that we've spent more time apart then together now
i don't care to admit how that burns going down my throat
