The One That Got Away
I did not know him I mean, if you showed me a picture But that's about it
Grieving with you seems to be something I should do out of respect I can collect the empathy, but cannot muster the sympathy
He was fifteen years older than me We did not gather by the time I had memories If I remind you of that, it will only make the pain more acute
So I play the game of pretending my feelings are not normal
It is so sad He was in such pain What a nice man I will miss him
