I can't get my mind off you
I hope when I board this plane,
It leaves my heart too.
Attached at the heart strings
But just can't cut the cord
Your essence is silky barbed wire
Lassoing me as I walk down the concourse
Packed to the brim
My suitcase is full
Heavy is my soul
And the memories I carry with me
Two years too late
Regret is the only thing I see,
Out of this window I slammed shut
Closed is our gate
Your words are souvenirs now
Mementos I look fondly upon
And tuck away
Just like my cowardice
Pushed in the back of a drawer
To collect dust
Only to resurface to get me to remember
A journey I never took
Because in myself, I couldn't love and trust
I can't get my mind off you
But when I board this plane,
It leaves me behind too
