Moving On
May 13, 2011
The mocking bird
Just won’t go away
Why can’t it be easy
Just fly away
Stop replaying memories
Get off my shoulder
I want to move on
But it’s there like a boulder
Always reminding me,
Of what I had
Good or bad
I don’t want the bird
But something brings it back
Some memories fade,
Others stand strong
Maybe it’s a sign,
Maybe I was wrong
Why can’t this bird just go away,
Come again another day

I actually recently went through a breakup and I feel the same way. It's so hard to get rid of those thoughts because whatever you do something reminds you of something that happened during that time.

enjoy the fact that you wrote "the mocking bird wont go away" because truly a hard break up stays with you and mocks you and you wish it would just go away

It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer. But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this and in somehow holding us to get.
thanks i hope to see some from you soon
