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.
