I can't get these words right

the late nights

the attention
turned to screens
and screams
and songs you'll sing
forever

so what's one more...

we make space
in the shape of
lost love

and I'm sorry

can't hold hands with
a ghost unless
you try hard enough

and I'm sorry

oh
what I'd give to make
that drive again

sink in your city
sleep in your bed

the world's not right
and I'm sorry
Happy Birthday, Kelly. (for you, forever.)

hey, just wanted to say this is still one of my favorite poems.  not sure why this of all of yours is the one that really stuck with me.  i still hear some of these lines in my head sometimes.  that's how you know, i guess.  anyway.  this was such a long time ago but still thank you for writing this!
