I used to get so caught up in what could’ve been

You and me dancing in the kitchen

Kisses under fairy lights

Your hand in mine

Falling asleep in your arms

I used to get caught up in what could’ve been

But not as much as I get caught up in what was

Your tears and the look in your eyes

Running away when I needed you the most

My heart being ripped into pieces

So heartbroken I was sick

Those feelings, those memories play constantly in the back of my mind

I watch them from a distance, not understanding why I felt the way I did back then

And yet I am still entangled in you

Wrapped in the cobwebs you left behind

Remnants of broken glass still buried in my skin

The lines of your poetry seared into my memory

Your fingertips branded on me like I’m cattle

Because no matter what I do

No matter where I roam

I am always yours

I will always come back to you
