When you left my town
Your silhouette slid across the windows of the bus
Such a beautiful and heartbreaking dance
With choreography so cold, so white, so fair
When you left my town
a trail of paint was left by your restless feet
The colors spoken to you were the same spoken to me
and so we fell into this terrifying, freeing vulnerability
When you left my town
You left your scent all around
You're back in Boston now
but your scent is all around
