if I were to come across you

just once more

walking down the sidewalk

or beside me at a red light

if I were to speak to you

just once more

look you in your eyes

and catch you with my words

I’d tell you

“thank you”

thank you for the little facts

I now get to share with others

thank you for the songs 

I still play in my car shamelessly

thank you for all the small things

and all the big things

that you taught me 

for showing me videos about cults

for sending me cheesy love songs

for teaching me that there is nothing

more important

then the way I love

if I were to see you

just once more

I’d remember how grateful

I can be for things that are no longer mine
