The Things You Left Behind 🍁

The Things You Left Behind 🍁

My car still smells like you,

sometimes I swear, 

it feels like the radio,

is playing our memories,

on a loop.

Our song is nothing,

but a distant echo now,

the windows that you drew on,

still have those letters you wrote,

the same way my heart,

still bears the weight,

of the "I love you",

you carved.

My hands feel too heavy,

now that you're not here,

to hold them,

and if it weren't for this,

aching pain in my chest,

I wouldn't really believe it,

that I've truly lost you.

I'm blindsided by the smiles,

you etched in my mind,

I wish you could see,

just for once,

the ruins you left behind.
