The story gets recycled, and we couldn’t alter it
That doesn’t change what the earth or the pieces of paper know
This is a recollection, then it will be handed over
Please realize that we are not the important ones
Stay close, it’s not that far of a walk
Stay away, farther back, keep going
Cannot handle this
God, what are you doing

I understand that we grew up in completely different homes
But you made it seem as if I could feel comfortable
Holes and memories in my skin
I could never please your family
Why did I have to
So that’s what it takes to diminish your good name, your renown
Politics, it’s nothing but politics
You watered the insignificant, it grew and grew too tall
Thanks for bearing as long as you did, now I’ll fall back on real people
Please, come on, just admit it
You weren’t concerned
You were embarrassed

With a note on my windshield
you told me you were happy
I thought I had it all together
No, I was selfish, impatient, and immature
I can’t believe I tried to take you
from the very thing I was missing
Did you have to run, then hide and leave me
wrapped in my dad’s arms
I was jealous of every smile,
thought there would never be an end
I read somewhere I was supposed to thank God
for breaking my heart, well I could not
It’s rather tough to breathe past you
with the hands of nostalgia around my neck
I miss you so much, but I have to remember
you only know how to run and hide
These months have been filled
with long talks on surrendering to a plan
I want to feel the comfort
in not being able to understand
I eventually thanked God for breaking my heart
It was hard, but it was nice to finally feel invaded
by a love that embraces my imperfections
The love that missed me
With a note on your windshield, I told you I was learning
I hope you have been too.

I tried my best to believe you
believe that you were busy
You were not
You’re beautiful, but nothing else
What the hell happened, when was the transition
How can you do that
I gave you your space
but you seem to make reconciliation impossible
Never should have idolized you
Expectations misplaced
I’m so sorry I’m not able to
bring myself to accept it all
I look for the emblem, It has almost killed me
The duration is not right, my memory is too good
Please cleanse us, make us new
Please heal us, make us for you

My expression was nothing to see
My greeting was nothing to answer
One year later, she’s grown one year younger
I can’t address her by her name
Take us off the same street
Away to our schools
If never another encounter, so it will be
You know it more, you feel it more
Take it, sustain me
You are mine, and I am yours
Thank you
