I’ve still kept to my side of the bed
Haven’t washed your smell off the sheets
And in the dark, when I close my eyes
It’s almost as if you’re still there…
Sink full of dirty dishes
And an empty home
Though strangely, without you
I feel less alone
Sweat holds my skin to the bed
When I awake from a dream of you
Slowly my scent is overpowering yours
Your presence is evaporating
Like the memories of last summer
Drawers full of clothes you left
When you made this empty home
In winter’s cold, it crystallized
That we were together alone
Season’s greetings, summer girl
You came and tore apart my world
Then acted like it was my fault
Dumped me when the warm turned cold
Your tears for show, mine are for real
Through the seasons though, I’ll heal
And you’ll be nothing in my world
Just some forgotten summer girl
In the spring, I changed the sheets
And I did the dishes
And I washed you off me
And I closed my eyes
Dreamt of next summer…
