(adj.) soon passing out of sight, memory, and existence


"the one who was left behind"

If I forgave you tonight,

Can you not leave me?

From the songs we used to sing in your Volkswagen Beetle,

Of having you by my side forever and always.


If I forgave you tonight,

Can we go back to the way we were?

Sneaking into your house at midnight,

To slow dance in the ever-flowing shower of rain.


If I forgave you tonight,

Will you show me your scars?

Of the days that once haunted and consumed your thoughts,

Of the same miseries that once buried you alive.


If I forgave you tonight,

Will you come back to me?

With that smile you had fought so hard to give,

And having your company that I will invariably cherish.


If I forgave you tonight,

Can you not leave us?

Since if you truly loved me,

Why would you run away without me?
