When you get

there and

you have time to spare

write me and say

that you’re okay

Home’s not the same

When you left

you took its name.

Home is us

Not me alone.

I dance with ghosts now

You know them all.

I’m still in love

With what we were

(not what is now)

I live in the past

though we know

memory won’t last

candle flame

Tomorrow’s never the same

And yes, I’m still

angry at you

For taking

a precious thing

that belonged to we two

Leaving me,

you stole something

that wasn’t only yours’

We made it together

Not two hands, but four.

I believed

we were forever

I believed

in nothing more.

Just me alone now

dancing

with our ghosts.

Since you left

I’ve learned to be

their perfect host.

I believed

we were forever

I believed

in nothing more.

I dance with ghosts now.

You know them all

I’m still in love

With what we were

(not what is now)^[1]
