Even as you leave my presence, I must collect my heart And softly weave my memories one by one On the edges, they quietly sit apart Until I say to myself I am done
If the ocean could overhear, the memories I recall I could throw a net reaching out for miles Capture every bit of love as it falls To join the lines of our hearts In my smile
All along the blue skies, in the shadows of the sun Inside of these memories, I could spend days Traveling through my heartβs caverns Inhaling a touch left trailing Of the things you say
Even as you leave my presence, I must collect my heart Draw back time enough to sweetly examine The joy all these memories will impart Until I say to myself I am done
