The Book

I didn't mean to leave you in the shade
That time I told you that I need space
You walked away
I left it where it lays
Didn't wanna split down the middle
I was changing in ways I couldn't say
Are you up at night filled with riddles
Of how things ended up this way

I still care
I check on your socials
Wanna see if you get
Everything that you hoped for

Are you still in school
Does your mom ever call you
Did you buy any new dresses
Worth the cost but damn they're expensive
Have you made any new friends
I can't say that I have on my end
I'm not looking for validation
But I don't wanna end the book on these pages

Are you still with that boy
Did you figure it out
Did you heart take the lead
Did your head win it out
Should I just save it for the next song
Didn't want dig up what wants to stay lost
Do I send a text on your birthday
Do we not talk till we're 30
I guess things could've ended in a worse way
Didn't want them to end in the first place

I still care
I check on your socials
Wanna see if you get
Everything that you hoped for

Are you still in school
Does your mom ever call you
Do you find peace when restless
Do you go to sleep with questions
Have you made any new friends
I can't say that I have on my end
I'm not looking for validation
But I don't wanna end the book on these pages
