Far away in the back of my mind is the memory of you.

Wrapped in silk and tucked away out of sight and thought.

I fear that if I open it those thoughts will come flooding back;

Sticky with sentiment and warm with a glow much to lovely to linger free.

I cannot let you back because I fear I am to fragile

Though I am cautious I still have hope that one day you’ll forget me,

Because I need something to tell me how to live without your presence

Before I can believe in good again and finally let you leave me.
