She is gripping her favorite lipstick   It was a gift from one of his trips   And she is asking herself on repeat   ‘Should I still be holding onto it?’ She puts down the fork and the knife on her plate   It was their favorite diner to date   And she whispers to no one   ‘Am I really done?’ She is sitting on top of a hill   On the bench where they used to chill   And she stares at the sunset looking drawn   ‘Shouldn’t I, too, move on?’ She puts her headphones on   It is his favorite classical song   She presses the square-shaped symbol and let out a sob   ‘This needs to stop.’ She is staring at her screen   They are their vacation pictures on the scene   And on one click, the screen proposes   ‘Erase all?’ or ‘Close?’ She is petting a bird   It was their lovely baby parrot   And she opens the cage door   ‘I am ready to let go.’

A change-of-plan
She is gripping her favorite lipstick   It was a gift from one of his trips   And she is asking herself on repeat   ‘Should I still be holding onto it?’ She puts down the fork and the knife on her plate   It was their favorite diner to date   And she whispers to no one   ‘Am I really done?’ She is sitting on top of a hill   On the bench where they used to chill   And she stares at the sunset looking drawn   ‘Shouldn’t I, too, move on?’ She puts her headphones on   It is his favorite classical song   She presses the square-shaped symbol and let out a sob   ‘This needs to stop.’ She is staring at her screen   They are their vacation pictures on the scene   And on one click, the screen proposes   ‘Erase all?’ or ‘Close?’ She is petting a bird   It was their lovely baby parrot   And she opens the cage door   ‘I am ready to let go.’
