right here where you left me.

By SourInnocence

I watched you walk away,
From everything we knew.
And I both admired and hated you.
You needed to find yourself,
Needed to get away.
But you left me here alone in the process.
You went out and saw the world,
Like you always wanted to,
And I got pictures,
Bent and faded,
In a blank envelope,
With the faint smell of your cologne.
I tried to live your adventures through you letters,
But found my self left behind in the dust again.
When you’re ready to come home.
I’ll be here,
Right here,
Where you left me,
When you went to find yourself.
And left the biggest part behind.
