AND IF I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN
And if I never see you again,
I’d want you to know
how much of an effect
you left on me.
Buried deep beneath my skin,
every memory has roots
that stretch throughout my soul.
And when thunder rolls,
like drums beating in the distance,
I’m reminded of those nights we spent upstate
by a fire,
our hearts racing,
both of us afraid
of giving someone everything.
You were wild at heart,
and you let me come along
on your reckless adventures.
They changed me for good.
And I’ll carry those memories
like gold in my pocket
until I’m tired and old.
I remember it like yesterday
when you stopped answering my calls.
Every ring was a knife
driven a little deeper.
Every voicemail I left
was another piece of myself
I couldn’t get back.
Until one day,
there was nothing left to give
only photographs
and a bitter taste in my mouth.
And if I never see you again,
I want you to know
that I carry you
through every thought and memory.
You’ve rented out a space
inside my soul.
And when I think of you,
I think of home.
Wherever you are
in this great big world,
I hope you’re doing okay.
I’d hate to think of you
living any way
other than your own.
