As I hide behind the darkness of my eyelids
I walk backwards in desperation
Further down memory lane...
I replay the moment
But it plays differently than before
It has been tweaked.
Tweaked to what I had hoped would have happened
This time, you feel the same way as I do
This time, you kiss me on the forehead instead of walking away
Comparatively a goodbye.
This time, you hold me close
In lieu of shifting your hand away from mine
These new, youthful memories I clung onto
Believing them
For the sake of my sanity.
