Solidify the secrets of our safekeeping,
We don’t ever talk about this
lest we let our hearts break twice.
Nothing ever seems like it is going to end,
Until you see the lines in the skin
by your mother’s eyes.
I buried in the floor
everything I wish I’d said and more,
Everything I do is just to prove now
I’m worthy of your crown,
So reckless with the time
I didn’t want to say goodbye,
I said I’ll see you when I fly back…
But the flowers in this room,
They bloom for you.
And the squirrels and the birds
still bring grandpa the news.
And the path between the trees
where you walked
misses your feet,
And I puzzle more now to honor your hobbies.
I promise I’ll eat chocolate on your birthday,
And when I sing I’ll look up to your new place.
I hope I’ll make you proud of
how I’m carrying your name…
Till we meet again <3
Love,
hilde
P.S. I got the job 🙂
