Maybe in a couple years, we said
I guess I held onto that longer than I should have.
Nothing's fundamentally wrong, I've just been here too long.
And I hope you stowed all my pictures and notes away
So they might resurface someday when you move in with him, and you might reminisce and say
"These are from a boy I used to see, he was always quite sweet to me."
From when the pre-assembled truths of your shoulda-been-vagabond youth left you sitting complacent at home.
I guess you needed some time to roam.
And I remember how we began and ended with why? And I tried to be graceful in the ending. But what is grace in the face of the fickle, empty, impossible promise of always?
What is always when all we have is time?
