I was meant to leave you behind
Leave you behind years ago
I tried and tried for days, months and years
What remained was trying harder still every time
There were days I succeeded
Days when you didn’t creep back inside my head
Days that would pass without even a mention of you
But still there were more days that I could count
More days when I failed
Days when you dominated every thought
Days when all I talked about was you
What is this power that you hold over me?
Why do you come rushing back to me?
As a memory, a song, a joke…
Why does everything have an imprint of you?
Why did you leave so much of you behind?
When you didn’t take any of me with you…
When all you did was leave…
And leave without a care
Not even a spare thought.
