how am i supposed to forget about you
when i spend every night thinking about you
and it never gets any easier
there was so much left unsaid
undone
we never graduated to climbing across the bottom of the golden gate bridge
we never went to new york together
we never held hands under the stars
actually, we did hold hands under the stars
but not nearly enough
i can't write about anything else
i can't even think about anything else
i go through my days
finding songs that remind me of those times
and even the happy ones
snake their way into my bones
twist their soft fingers through my hair
and gently pull it out
crush my skull with all the things we sang in the car
burn like the tips of our fingers
when we pass over a cigarette
and fumble
like we always did
i wish these scars would stay forever
but they always have a way
of fading
unlike you
