I'm going to the fair today, like I do every year.
You usually drive, and I sit passenger as we make our way — music loud for everyone to hear.
I'm walking by the flower fields today, the ones we picked together.
Sunflowers glowing with a beautiful yellow, like the sun in this blazing hot weather.
Oh, I forgot to bring my water today — the one you always remembered to grab.
You always were prepared, because I would forget things so bad.
I'm walking to the café today, the one that's my favorite.
You always got a milkshake, and we'd converse about my outfit.
Every place that gives me joy is a memory with you.
There are days I get so lost, I don't know what to do.
All it takes is one phone call — but that's not fair to do.
I wish, I wish it could have been you.
I know that these feelings are just a normal part of letting go,
But I am at the fair today, and my stomach is dropping low —
Not from the ride, though.
