Fading Ink
~ djl

The things I did, I did
Because I had to do
Because I had to leave
Although I cared for you
And knew you cared for me
And maybe you still do
And maybe you can block the distance
But that, I cannot do

The things I did, I kept
In boxes in my room
In envelopes I hid
To save the truth of our doom
And maybe to see later
And maybe to show you
The way that I am terrified
Of everything I do

These things I kept, I'll burn
In a year or two
Reminding me of how you yearn
For the things I do
So maybe you will fade
And someday, you may smile
And I hope the world we made
Will keep you strong a while
