I'm seeing scalenes and belts in skies and i'm trying to hide the fact that I miss these same old walks I used to take every night
By the bench where two friends used to sit before they got serious and now they live together in a city accessible by water
A couple kindly turn to single file, they let me pass and wish me well as if i'm alone this season and they don't know that it's never been less the case though I play along without reason
I mistake a silhouette of two horses for a car and am pleased by the result
And think about how I may once have been paid off by relatives to leave them be when I only wanted to say hello
They're getting older now
I was there but then running
You tell me how you're done
And i'm trying to make you realise that it's not always easy
In fact it's frustrating and I need to be taking my time with it all so that we both don't fall down
But when i'm met with a grunt and a frown i'm astounded by the fact that you can only see your way and that nothing can ever be changed
I've been looking too far into things that should never concern me and i'm wondering how it's only been three whole years since we piled into that tiny car devoid of all things unimportant and spent our nights in woodlands and on cliff sides
We've all separated since those days and in so many ways
I miss you all one by one
