The space in between the seconds
Keeps growing smaller
As time goes on
Until you can’t even feel it anymore

But the space between him and I
Just gets bigger
Until the edges can’t even be seen
And we’re both lost in this void

Though the space is so big
There’s not enough room
To fit all the little things
The important things

So we both just wander aimlessly
Through the black
Never finding our way back to each other
Though I was searching for you

But we let the space get too big
And when I found the wall
I climbed out
And I didn’t go back to look for you

I found myself
High above the wall
Looking down at what used to be
But I didn’t want to go back

Go back to the empty
Where all those little important things
Didn’t matter to you
And you just threw them in the garbage

And threw me in the garbage
Because those little important things
All the weirdness and quirks
Were parts of me

So I climbed out of the black
And picked myself up out of the trash
And moved on
And I’m not coming back for you

Because I found myself
And I realized that I’m okay
With all the weird and the quirks
I’m okay with being me

So the space in between the seconds
Is going to keep getting smaller
And time is going to fly
Faster than ever

But I’m ready to fly
And I’m okay with being me
Now you just need to be okay
With being without me
