Never Mind Me, I'm Just Venting

 
From time to time you cross my mind
I'd like to say it's less frequently these days
But we both know that's a lie
I'd like to say it doesn't hurt
realizing moments are just memories
But that'd be a lie too

I tried to pretend as if it didn't happen
that it didn't matter
a temporary thing to be erased as soon as it got so... messed up
But I was just fooling myself

When it comes to love
it's always written in ink
worn across the heart like a tattoo
even if it's brief
even if it's unspoken

So I can't white you out
I wouldn't even if I could
You wrote your name so beautifully...

At times, absent-mindedly
I touch the place where I tucked away your smile
and I remember that you are...
I mean, were...

That you are right here

I guess they aren't just memories after all...
