You have returned but you're not back yet

An absent lapse of time to feel the difference

How our still life lingers but can change still

Even now I have the flutter high

You give to me when facing my direction

But right now I am gonna throw up

I am so taken that I saved your trash

Hoping that you'd come around not take it back

A bike brake pad, ruined camera film

Start the clock on week-and-counting

We can count on this or nothing at all

Avoidance of some vague promise

At least you had the decency to foresee this

I wish that I had been more cautious

But I'll admit I couldn't help but be

Surrendered to your grace

I haven't left but I am gone now

Attending to the final affirmation of severance

Even now you seem so comfortable

Encased in the embrace of my affection

Full of wide-eyed hopeful motivations

Start the clock on week-and-counting

We can count on this or nothing at all

Avoidance of some vague promise

At least you had the decency to foresee this

I wish that I had been more cautious

But I'll admit I couldn't help but be

Surrendered to your grace
