I’m Right Behind You by Riley H

1 min read

I’ll never see you again

you’ll be gone without a trace

I’ll go about the rest of my days

missing your kind, sweet, pretty face


my timing is impeccable

I knew you’d be leaving and yet

I still chose to cling to the impossible

all I’ll have left is memories I can’t let


go. Laughter shared and stolen glances

never mine to keep I guess

and I swear I’ll always remember

how good you looked in that dress


so take my tokens of appreciation

and go live the life you’re meant to live

I’m right behind you, just a few steps too far

left with all the love I couldn’t give
