I am walking with your ghost again,
through fields filled with weeds, abandoned store parking lots, and cemeteries you now call home.
I am walking with your ghost again,
through empty playgrounds, the haunted city asylum, and the forest where you told me your first secret.
I am walking with your ghost again, through buildings where our laughter no longer echoes, on rusty train tracks, to the last place we were whole.
I am walking with your ghost again,
but you are fading as the sun is climbing the sky.
I am walking along again,
bracing myself for your millionth goodbye.
