focus
the trouble with memory is the way
that i only seem to remember things
after i'm far away like i'm far away
from you and what you mean to
me and to all the people have walked
through your nurture and past your power
the trouble with memory is the way
that i hold onto the things i learned
was supposed to remember but all
the times in between have gotten
fuzzy like the card game and the
ice cream and the late-night talks
the trouble with memory is the way
that i make you a part of me even though
i am not a part of you i was not
the only girl you held i was not the
perfect person for you but you were
the perfect thing for me just right
the trouble with memory is the way
i think of you in and out of focus
