♧How does someone with a heavy heart have such a lighthearted laugh? I get tongue tied around you. I trip over my laces. We pretend we don't notice the road rash. We pretend it's just from my palms meeting the pavement too many times. ♧You are trains and buses, always ready to leave. We used to go on road trips and I'd stare at you staring out the window. Staring at the sky. Staring at the trees. Staring at the hills. I could never meet your eye. You overlooked every attempt. Every grand gesture. ♧I don't drive too far now. I learned distance isn't just in miles. You're not just busy, You've gone missing. I'm scared I might see you're green eyes staring back at me If I look out the window. I'm scared they won't recognize me anymore.
