That saves an emptiness I tried to replace
And though I try to revive it
Try to return to the start
Searching for something familiar
Do I misremember the past?
I have a hard time with leaving
Time can’t preserve every truth
Sever the stems of expecting
Light can fall and still follow through
Remind me
(Remind me)
Remind me
