It starts as an old graphite drawing of you

It spirals, I wind up creating something new

But all of that time I spent looking at your photo

Allows me to subconsciously talk to your shadow

It helps me heal, and it helps me face it

It reminds me to know I can never replace it

And that's ok because each experience is temporary

Especially the people we hold onto most indefinitely

Years of distraction I forget your name

I've had plenty of time to dissipate the pain

Remember my words as I continue to say

Relate, elevate, rejuvenate, communicate
