Leave/relieved
A month of last experiences
Going away parties with your brothers
Bubbles, cries, and harmonies
A drumbeat reminiscent of your heart
It feels like you’re already gone
One day you’ll wonder why you didn’t take her
Was it a relief to leave?
Did you have this up your sleeve?
The big night, the fireworks
The sunlight the morning after
A line of bows and cheers
The speeches bringing you to tears
The music of a generation
Bring us together like 200 lovers
And great but all they are is faithful covers
It feels like you’re already gone
One day you’ll wonder why you didn’t take her
Today you and she will know
What it looks like with the snow
You spent five years just wondering
“what is that city like in spring?”
If you keep it a secret
It’s like it never existed
You’re probably relieved it’s over
Don’t forget
That I see everything.
Don’t doubt it,
That I see everything.
And when you’re finally alone
(which you will be)
when you’ve made it your home
do you even think of me?
Or were you just relieved.
