People outgrow bodies

Out of their bones and skin

People outgrow people

Their lovers, friends, and kin

Their eyes that used to be so big

And brighter than the moon

Shrink and fade and dissipate

Because they aren't for you

They forget the way your name tastes

Falling off their lips

They forget the way you laughed

The way you moved your hips

It's hard to watch their eyes light up

For somebody new

The harsh reality sets in

That that somebody's not you

They say to let your loved ones leave

And they'll come home to you

No one ever says that you might

Not be what they choose

What a way it is to feel

Like no one in your heart

Can ever truly love you

Never felt it from the start
