no matter how much time passes, i just can't seem to lose the trace of you
you're everywhere
my memories my present
infiltrating everything
all my new experiences interpreted with a glimmer of your cynicism
every little comment gets inside my head
i forget which words were mine, are mine
and which ones came from you
i question everything that once locked me safe in my perfect charmed life
my heart is bleeding out of control
i never knew it was possible to contain this much defeat for so long
you'd think it would morph somehow, evaporate into something lighter, less cumbersome
the problem is i know the right answer
it just comes at too high a cost
we were beautiful and young and perfectly in love
no matter the other facts, i have to keep repeating that one
i can't let you mar my memories
can't let the sting of your coolness in response to my hysteria come anymore as a surprise
we will always love each other in a distant sense that requires no more than a worded commitment
no matter how worked up i get, i can't seem to make you move
for you, the book is closed
we had a run but now we have too many miles
better to just turn back
we're both so locked in our own paces
this can't be done together
we need some me in here
fuck all that shit about team work
i need to get on the defensive
i wake up exhausted
