Past Memories: Haunted Future

Do you sit there and feel like We are on top of the monkey bars? Do you close your eyes And feel my arms around you? Do you play guitar and remember How you tried (and failed) to teach me? Do you hug your pillow at night And think of how you held me? Do you remember how bad I was when You said you'd leave? Do you feel guilty for promising to Stay by my side in the darkness? Because I've brought your monkey bars Just to sit on them. And close my eyes and remember the way you wrapped your arms around me. I lightly strum my guitar And picture you doing the same. I hug my pillow at night and Try to remember you. And how hard I cried when you said That you were moving away. And sit by the phone every night Waiting for you to return to me.
