Love is a time I left behind

But cherish every day

It’s unicorns and magick wands

And the sound of falling rain

It’s a Token song from years long gone

Grilled cheese at 3am

It’s stickers from the Dollar Tree

And laughing in the bed

It’s promises that I still hear

Although they’ve long since died

It’s sketchbooks full of lettering

And a pair of ocean eyes

Love is what I carry with me

Each and every day

It’s there in every word I write

And the words that got away

It’s memories and melodies

Kerby and Hannah Lynn

It’s everything that I still am

But will never have again.
