-*-

The way fresh air is always needed,

(just a bare necessity),

makes a move uncomplicated,

but tests your brain's dexterity.

-*-

Getting rid of lots of items,

cleaning drawers and old boxes,

finding memories that lighten

that sure feeling of being doxed.

-*-

The way fresh air is always needed

It sure is my moving force,

I'll put my brain in overdrive,

I need to move with no remorse.

-*-

I saw your face when I was talking

about my plans and future dreams;

you were listening in silence

but I heard your silent screams.

-*-

The way fresh air is always needed

is not a reason to be at strife;

I may be leaving this old city,

but I'm not parting from your life.
