lyrics

I can recall walking back from class. A usual overcast day sodden with heavy clouds, and an unbearable lightness sifting through the air. Everything was always so weightless in that town. Retreating back to my room, to my glass reclusion. Alone with my words. Alone with my shame. Staring out the window to a scene of the sun beginning to set behind loblolly and red-cedar. Remembering the Parana in the Mast Arboretum. Ignoring what work needed to be done. Ignoring the dull emptiness festering inside. Images of that lone Japanese maple fading. Standing in my own body as an apparition. When we got the call, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe you were gone.

I knew it would be soon. Watching the light from your eyes dim the month before. I never would have been ready. Sitting at Nigel's desk, at first in profound shock, and then wetting myself in a deluge of tears.

I never got to say goodbye. To hold you, and tell you one last time how much I love you. And there will never be a second chance.

Years have passed, and I no longer reside in the town, in which in my head, you passed away. Now your ashes are stowed upon the mantle. Everyday I walk past the remains of what you were. Now sitting mere miles from the remnants of your body, I listen to Town and Country's, "That Old Feeling", and think of you.

I was listening to it then in the wake of your passing. I listen to it now and remember how much I love you. But you're gone. You've been gone for nearly three years, and the scenery has changed. Yearning to return to that grey town to hold your true memory again. Back to Nacogdoches, where I was content to reside as a ghost. Going back to where I left my heart in the sheets of a twin sized bed five foot off the floor.

I want to go home. I want to go home now.
