left in the realm of memories
by the ones you love,
the ones saying they love you
the ones who
you've let in,
all who
are allowed to
get close to you,
come push and shove,
will abandon you
right on cue
that's my lesson
that's where i'm constantly tested
i pray it's different for you
and between me and you
whoever you
happen to be
i hope you
don't find this true
but if you do
i'll do my best
to be there for you
if i myself
ever make it through
