I still own those shoes
The ones that I wore in
September
When I spoke to you
That oath youʼll always
Remember

A dead rose still blooms
When you see it and
Remember the moment
When something got
Bruised
And a promise was there to
Console it

Hold on to my things
If they remind you of you
Theyʼll say that youʼve
Changed
Oh well, honey youʼre
Allowed to

Donʼt you know, you will
Grow

Iʼm home with you
Those uneven floors and
That bright yellow doorway
In this house I can take a
Breath and feel the steps
