I quote your favorite line to strangers, and I practice the right words in the mirror. I hope you?re loved where you are. I won?t rewrite this again.

I see your initials in streetlights, and I keep asking the moon for advice. I will keep the soft parts of us. I won?t rewrite this again.

I hope your plants keep thriving, because I?m afraid of what you?ll say back. If you ever need me, I?ll understand if you don?t call. I won?t rewrite this again.

I keep your song on repeat, and I practice the right words in the mirror. Here?s to everything we couldn?t say.

I learn the weather where you live, and I keep rewriting the past in kinder ink. I?ll carry the lesson, not the weight. That?s okay.
