The moment you told me, it’s coming back to me
I was thankful that my hair was tied up
It gave me strength when your words cut
As well as the words not said
You thought you could rule my world
That I would follow you everywhere
I admit I wasn’t perfect, but I took my chances
You marked moments of history with different colors
Highlighted every emotion in every moment
You gave me drive to move forward
I won’t forgive all the time wasted
The tears you always made me cry
I remember whispers who didn’t understand
All the hugs that I could recall
Never made me believed I mattered at all
In all the fantasies that I imagined
You could never touch the high bar
You can pen any words down on post-its
I should have ID you from the start
If I went through the past, it was my type
I won’t pencil you into my schedule anymore
But I’m a distant memory to you now
If you staple everything together
I know that I count, no matter where
The dice falls through the wind
