Grey
Grey album covers of the music I love
Grey like Ophelia
On my mind since the flood
Grey like Betty
And if I’d just show up at her party, would she have me,
would she want me?
Grey like Delilah in a video about what you do to me
And oh, it’s what you do to me.
Grey like the Riptide, my friends and I
Still sing the words wrong.
Grey like the pencil sketches saying that
I will follow you into the dark.
Grey that keeps me chasing cars around our heads.
Grey that’s
for emma, forever ago
Re:Stacks and everything that happens is from now on
And as I watch my life in grey fade
through the rainy tear-splattered airplane window,
Grey, New Year’s Day
And a small sliver of hope for the life ahead of me and the one I’m leaving behind.
Hold on-
The people I’m leaving behind…
-to the memories-
I’ll miss them
-they will hold on to you-
And they’ll miss me
-hold on-
A comforting grey blanket of
-to the memories-
Memories,
-they will-
Love,
-hold on-
And so much more I can’t bring myself to say
-to you-
-And hold on
To the memories
They will hold on to you.
And I will hold on to you.-
This isn’t goodbye.
Not yet.
But no matter what happens,
I love you
for always.
