Here's where you last left me

Here’s where you last left me

Right out here in the cold biting wind

Cuddling myself in a never-ending shiver

Staring at the frosty air that escaped my mouth

Afraid but brave, lost in the mirage that got us here

My feet, numb, dipped deep into this makeshift

You called it a forever, but you knew it was a trap

You said to be strong, it was what made us

Here’s what you last said

“Listen up, I am here, will always be.”

So reckless I was to believe you at that moment

But how could I not have with that voice

That sweet, heart satisfying voice you charmed me with

You failed to explain what you meant by ‘here’

When all I can feel is a wind of emptiness

Is that really how promises are kept?

Here’s what you left me with

A journey of how to keep going without you

As you can see I was able to pack up and start up

But then I got here and time froze on me

I do not know for how long I have been here

I don’t want to go, I will stay till you come

Bring me back your warmth and tender loving

So, I can begin to live again for another day

Here’s how I will always remember you

When you slid your hand into mine on the streets

When you covered my shame before the world

When you took my pain and made it yours

I want to remember you for the dreams we had

That never really got to see the light of day

I want to remember what it would have felt like

If you were here today, it would never have been the same.
