I want to try again


That comfort of knowing a person wont hurt you


I want to try and find it again


Alas im being told that it will find me instead


But aren't I the one with the compass


Arent i the one who knows what i want


….


Well thats not entirely true at all


If I had known then I most likely wouldn't be where I am now


Yet somehow I will always know this


I know you


Whenever I am asked how my summer went


All i can speak of is the moments I had with you


Regardless of how painful they are


I tell the story in repeat like a broken record


Im telling it right now


I wonder


When will I be rid of this


Rid of you


Or rather, what you have left with me


Im certain I wont be able to find anything when you have broken my compass


And sadly I do not have the tools to fix it


At least not at the moment


And so ill sit alone in the humid midnight air


Still wondering


Still trying to find my way


With my broken compass
