I Will Always Think of You
[break][break]
I used to think that this town connected me and you, that it was a magical place that bound our eternities together. It was this town that we met all those years ago and fell in love. It was in this town that you asked me to marry you. It was this town that I promised I will always think of you, and you promised the same. It was this town where
I would
see your face when each day's through, and you'd see mine. It was in this town, I would take your hand and you would take mine. Life was perfect, wasn't it? And then it changed. It took its hold on you and yanked you away from me. It's been two years since it happened.
And days go fast, oh so fast. One would think that I'd be able to move on by now,
but memories, they last. What was a magical town that intertwined our fates turned into a pair of handcuffs. Please let me leave.

Summer, winter, year by year, I keep attempting to build my life anew in this town. But you won't let me, will you? It's futile. Whenever I feel that I am fine and okay, you end up doing something that reminds me of you. Some days, I'll actually feel happy, but then
I'll hear the song inside my ears of our first dance together. I'll smell the first dinner you've ever made for me. I'll see a younger version of us dancing in the rain. And I'll shake my head
trying to restart and be smart by throwing memories of you as far away from me as I can,
but thoughts of you haunt my heart. Your grip on me through this town won't let me go.

Sometimes I find avenues in this town that try to trick me into thinking I can move on. A wink in the grocery store or a friendly smile at work. But what will a life without your influence be like? What will it be like with you gone? N-
No, I don't wanna be alone now, I can't have a life without you. I always try my best to pretend it's okay
just biding my time, but
I need somebody dearly. And darling, you'd be sublime. But... I can't have you. And this town will always always remind me of that fact. So why do I stay? Why do I keep coming back?

Spring and autumn, up and down. Throughout all this time, nothing has changed.
I keep trying to escape this town. And I swear to you, one day I will.
And I just might... I might pack all of my bags and leave without looking back. I won't take the pictures we took together or the ring you gave me all those years ago. All I'll have will be the clothes in my drawer and off my back and
I'll take flight. Do you hear me? One day I'll finally be free of you. One day I'll... one day I'll leave. But... not here, and not now. Maybe...
Maybe tomorrow, not tonight. [break][break]
This was so difficultoewaigjaow. I didn't think it would be this hard to change a song into a story but like.... changing the vibe of the lyrics to match prose just felt so wrongoageowia. Hopefully this isn't too bad. Anyway, this is taken from "
I Will Always Think of You" from Bojack Horseman.
