Evaporated

i find you sweeping in and out of my life
just like this lump in my throat
some days you catch me off guard
clutching my cords and leaving me breathless
while other times i can feel you fading away

i find myself swimming in and out of the strings
i sew together into songs that play in my head
nourished by the notes like my meat and drink
as I craft sweet serenades and sing them to you
to make you smile in hopes you’ll stick around

i find us swerving in and out of space
torn apart by time and distracted by distance
wow, i never thought the day would come
when I would disremember your face
or forget you ever existed at all
