I’m chasing the version of me that’s become a ghost,
First awakened by you, the girl I loved most.
I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve,
Up until the very moment I watched you leave.
I’ve fallen in love, I’ve fallen apart,
More than a dozen girls’ signatures on my heart,
But yours is clearest of them all
For you were my dearest of the fall,
Brought in like the cool autumn breeze,
Held me in your arms with solemn ease.
I felt safe and seen like never before and never since,
Now I’m broken, like never before and ever since.
