Don’t pretend you’ll miss me
When you can only kiss
My lips
With your hands on my hips,
Holding me tight in a fake embrace
While stating in a voice that is light
With speed as it fades away.
"We'll never end."
Don’t pretend you’ll remember
Come December
Two long months of new things and places
Girls with reading glasses and pretty faces
Boys with cars and beans and beer
Not thinking of me while I'm sitting here.
You say now we’ll live forever
There is no forever.
Darling you’re leaving
And while my chest is heaving
With sobs you’re disappearing
Out of seeing, out of hearing,
Out of feeling.
Sweetheart, when you are whole and complete
In two months time
I’ll still be healing
