Why do I keep trying so hard

Just to watch them fade, like smoke in the dark

I thought moving forward was what they wanted too

But maybe I was never part of their way

 

Why does even change feel like a slow goodbye

It’s time I walked away, one less name inside

We moved like branches reaching for the same light

I’ve seen too many seasons to stay untouched

 

I build and I bloom

But everything drifts like dust in a room

Was it me? Was it time?

Or did they shine too bright for me to find
