It’s Not About You

These pictures of you
They sure bring back a lot of memories
A lot of forgotten grief
I don’t think you’ll ever understand
You’re so spot-on
You can describe how I feel perfectly
But you can never really know
You’re not around to see it
If you would just talk to me
Maybe you would have a better idea
Maybe you wouldn’t make me suffer like this
You’ve had a major impact on my life
I guess it was just having you around every day
And then pulled out from under my feet
It feels like I missed a step
I want to go back and correct it
Get back what I lost
Make up for wasted time
Maybe you’re just symbolic
I know I’m not really grieving for you
I don’t even know you
I’m grieving for my past
For the friends I’ve lost
For the time I’ve wasted
For everything I forgot to do
I can never get it back now
It’s all gone forever
Kind of like you
