I smelled your shirt tonight
        Remember the one you took off before you left and tossed at me?
Said I could keep it for a memory.
                 It was an accident,
         I didn't want to smell it,
        To
           smell
               you.
     It reminded me of the night before you left,
        We stayed up talking half the night about you leaving,
       being sad but anxious and happy too
         I just
               held
                      you
Watched you sleep, wondered about your dreams
             I didn't sleep that night
        Stayed up all night and cried
               I knew I was gonna miss you
                  And it was gonna hurt so bad
                        To watch you go
But when I just smelled your shirt
            It didn't make me sad
                   Not
                         even
                                mad

It was just another memory
Of the mistakes I've made and learned from
             I've
                   let
                      it all
                            go

I guess I just wanted you to know
      That even if you don't want it,
                 I've
                      forgiven
                              you.

    Tomorrow?
I'm gonna wash that shirt
And *stop thinking about you.
