sixteen months just wasn't long enough

to change your mind

but I'm sure you knew that all along

I was much too young

and you were much too far away to think

that I might think about you when you're gone



what did you wear how steep was your climb

what did you have in your pockets at the time

how long did it take how much did you care

what side of the street did they find you waiting there



sixteen months leaves little to remember even though

I have the photographs to prove that you were there

now and then I think about the way you might have been

but other times I'm just so angry I don't care



what did you say and who did you tell

what could I have done

that might have saved you from yourself

how did it feel and what went through your mind

what did they do with all the things you left behind
