For Katie (1990-2020)

Can't you stay for a while
I've got more memories to make with you
I know you didn't mean to slip away
How easily a night can change

Her words will always hang in the air
Constantly, to remind me why I care
It's not to say, that I'll stow away
My heart with the happiest of times

But if I could take back my wish
I would lift you up instead
Was it self soothing or self fulfilling
Cause that shit will kill you darling
My clothes are much to big
To fit the heart you left me with

Love always. Just in case.
