#cantmaintain

Without any trace to follow.

Just her intoxicating scent that lingers

on underwear she left behind.

I'll let this one be, I'll let her go.

I'll let her keep searching, I'll let her feel free

I'll always be waiting I hope she knows

For a day she finds her way back to me.

But if she finds the love she requires

The kind of love that could collapse empires

Then she'd be smart to burn any memories

That she ever had of me.

Reality is out of focus

Love has been lost

Or maybe never found.

Legs, numb.

I'll continue walking though.

Even if it means I must walk alone

And my back it will grow achy

I will buy us an acre

Of some land in the city

We could live there together

Or I'll live alone less happy

But I'll live

Unfortunately
