When I see that date
I can still see your face
My mind spirals back
To the phone call
The last text I ever got
The last time I watched you walk away.
Then it hits fast foward
To the deep forest
The tangle of thoughts
That I still get lost in
When I don't feel good enough
I do it all
But there's just one thing
That matters about me
The one thing you didn't care
That much about
It was a bonus
But a good one
It all comes back to that
At least it does now
I'm trapped in these trees
The sun is fading
I can't always hide these feelings
As much as I want to
I don't have you
To remind me of what I am worth
But I do have your words.
All I can do is breathe
As hard as that can be
Keep going and hope
That I make it out
Unsure of what happens if I don't.
