Pick the clothes from the floor and take the trash out   Please don't dwell on what you know is in store   Wipe the kitchen counter dry, and most important, keep your hands and fingers occupied      On the days when faith is low and loneliness is creeping, I'm aware that I can go at any time   Run the fibers through your hair, spend all of your money   New diversions don't suffice, but they can try      For a month, I couldn't help but notice I was happy   For a month, I didn't care that you had gone      Month-long vacation from leftover parties, now all our lives are on pause   Back to the problems that I had forgotten, back to the way it was      Coming home to old-school friendships changes the dynamic   Boyfriends and new schedules leave no time for me   Sad to say, it looks like the end of an era   Always starting over with a brand new scene
