Oeuvre, Janet Kuypers

Lost in the Breeze

Well, wouldn’t you think of me anyway
We’ve had enough of a track record together to earn it
I have only seen you through my rose-colored glasses
I know you thought of me
On the most important day of my life

I know you thought of me
you did things for me
But a part of me asked for you there
Because it would matter to you

But the minute your obligations were met
Well, my name flew away like a feather on the breeze
Caught up in the wind
And then muffled noise
That was my night
And was my life
Was forgotten

I am grateful for what you have done
But all that I afraid I will carry with me
Is that you did what you felt you had to do
And then
Like my name, a muffle sound lost in the breeze
I left you
And you went on your way
