circle me

I remember skipping stones, when we were finished talking about our home

I remember kissing you softly, as you promised me with five words, “i’ll never leave you alone.”

But I guess that was just your way of conversing, the things that you were scared to say.

But now all these thoughts circle me…

Was I enough? Was our love really that tough?

Could you still see us late night shopping, racing in carts, eating tiny candy hearts?

It’s gone and wasted away, the moments that are now labeled, ‘another day.’

These things circle me…

I lost a best friend, and that circles my mind, why couldn’t you stay and continue to be mine?

Was I really that bad? You turned out just like your dad

And that circles me..

So now I walk alone, kicking coke cans, crushing my leftover money in my left hand,

See broken signs that still remind me of you and I

Drive down with the windows low, wondering why I let you go

And this circles me…

Late night bars, trip to mars, hmm and all these thoughts circle me…
