I hear your name all around me
From the kids in school
You have become a passing dream,
A whisper in the wind
I am very out of touch with dreams
I will myself not to become attached
To something that isn't real
You are real
But not tangible
I can't capture your voice
Or your memory
Your frame is gone
And I'm left with
Whatever we can salvage
But I can't salvage your voice
Or the dreams we shared
That you seem to lose
I can't imagine what you would have done
Had you not left
I don't remember your favourite song
I don't know if I
Knew it to begin with
You've slipped from my side
When I wasn't looking
And ran away
I know you exist to someone
But that someone isn't me.
