there's something about a pinky promise,
and two pairs of eyes that are searching for a place to sleep,
that refuses to forget itself,
at least that seems to be the case for me,
and although you no longer need me in that place,
i still close my eyes to the steady thumbing of each page,
a script i have become fluent in,
an accent from which i cannot seem to refrain,
maybe it's better if i regress in my steps,
to accept the view of you when I'm not by your side,
someday maybe it will scab over,
or at least i will become articulate with my lies,
there's something about a pinky promise,
one pair of eyes that see right through,
and i just never thought that,
i'd be writing a farewell poem about you.
