Documenting Thirty Days

i wrote it down in case i might forget
 how tall you made me feel
 like i was towering over trees and buildings
 (and you made it sound so easy).
 ♪
 now i'm wearing your strength
 like a bright badge pinned to my chest
 right there, you made me swear i would not forget.
 ♪
 i still remember that May
 when a late frost taught me
 that even the things we left for dead can resurface
 and every step was magnified
 by the sharpest snap that seemed to say
 "your voice is still small, and will not carry anything"
 and even the smallest words cling to the roof of my mouth
 and i broke my promise again and again
 it's all i can do, sitting here waiting
 hoping the words will just fall out my mouth
 like when you were around me
 and all i need is to read what you told me
 "everything else in the world disappears when your voice wraps around me"
