Ghost of You

Pages fall from the calendar

I’ve met a thousand faces

So many hours pass

But you’re still all I think about

Can’t rationalize why you’re still on my mind

You can’t find a minute for me

Yet I’ve dedicated almost a year to the idea of you

You say I don’t understand how it is

I’ve tried to see your side

I can’t bring myself to let go

I wonder if you cry for me

If you wonder about me when you do laundry

When you see a bathroom sign

Or when you stand in the rain

I know I think about you

Have I been reduced to a misguided choice from a past life?

A reminder of someone you used to be?

If you never return, then I will yearn for you from afar

My heart will ache when you walk by

And I will exist, never whole, because you will always have a piece of me with you
