There are still pieces of you lingering in the air
The trickle of your sweat still degrading in the grass
Your fingerprints digging deeper impressions into the walls
There is still that shade of Black roaming in the gym and your words are still thriving in my bones
There will always be a moment I shed a tear for you [for myself]

I wear the V-neck you left behind sometimes
As my sweat stains the armpits and pushes the cotton fibers further away from my curves

I hope that you are moving simultaneously with it
I want to forget you but I want you to remember me
Not my name or who I ever was but the way you felt my spirit holding you over the edge
The way I took air from your lungs and gave you life
I want to tell you that there is still friendship in my heart for you
I want to capture your smile in a song
The way a song captures the pain of our darkness no matter how distant the words may be
