paris, texas



I used to make long speeches to you after you left

I used to talk to you all the time, even though I was alone

I walked around for months talking to you

And now I don't know what to say

It was easier when I just imagined you

I even imagined you talking back to me

We'd have long conversations, the two of us

It was almost like you were there

I could hear you, I could see you, smell you

I could hear your voice

Sometimes your voice would wake me up

And would wake me up in the middle of the night

Just like you were in the room with me

Then it slowly faded

I couldn't picture you anymore

I tried to talk out loud to you like I used to

But there was nothing there

I couldn't hear you

And then I just gave it up

Everything stopped

You just disappeared

You just disappeared
