They say to leave the past
at that
What once was a moment
that didn’t last
They say to move forward
and start a new chapter
But why does this fill me
with anxiety after
They say to run
that you must first crawl
But what if the wrong step
leads to my downfall
They say that this
will lead me astray
But how far can one get
when they run away

She joked that she’d always love me
In sickness and in health
And I lounged hungover in her robe
Before I passed out on her couch
And when I drove away
I never knew it’d be for good
One year flew by too fast
With memories of texts misunderstood
And the bridges we burned
But the love never fades
In a friendship left barren
Is this too late to save
And I keep the earrings
That she never wore
In the trunk of my car
Because I don’t want to forget her
Close, but not close enough
I keep the memories locked up
But what a crime that two people that love one another
Can find a day where they don’t know each other

The memories replay
I wish I could forget
Taking the wrong path
Is something I’ll always regret
You were only a ghost
That left me haunted
With dreams of things
That I never wanted
I still have flashbacks
Like PTSD
I wish I could forget
These memories
Though time goes on
The wounds don’t heal
If it was that easy to disappear
How do I know that you were real
