please meet me after 5 years

I screwed up,
I know it when I look down at my half eaten plate of pasta,
I know it when I get my coffee at work,
I know it when I'm dancing with my friends,
I know it when i look at the books in my shelf,
I know it when I listen to those songs we played in your car,
I know it when I watch that movie we wore out,
I know it when I accidentally look at old pictures,
I know it in some words and in some actions,

I feel it when it's been too long since i heard your voice,
I feel it when I'm in a crowd and still feel lonely,
I feel it in the hidden places I still keep secret,
I feel it in the secrets i still keep in hidden places.

I know I screwed up,
So once in a while i let the tears take away all this knowing,
Once a while it leaves just a soul with it's spirit lost,
Till the heart finds excuses in this false strength.
