7/11

I admire your strong presence

The way you take control

Everyone’s eyes are on you

And so are yours

Your duties are never completed

And it seems like no one cares

Yet you know your value

And you know ill always be there

I cant depart from this 7/11

The memories still in the air

Everything is rearranged

But your presence is still there

I don’t want to forget you

But you haunt me till this day

My thoughts still linger

Wondering if you’re safe

Please take care

Will you still be there

If one day im ready

To walk back in to this old 7/11

Will you leave your arms open

And take me just as you did once

Or did we run out of time

Is it too late for me to come back?
