Donut Hole

Donut Hole
When did it get so big
That I can’t remember the memories?
I can’t recall much at all,
But there’s one thing I definitely remember.
No matter how many times I try,
The face I remember is yours.
Still, somehow I can’t quite
Bring you back to mind.
The lines of emotion circle the globe,
Chasing the sunrise around and around.
We don’t need any tracks,
We’re chasing the night with our hopes.
No matter how many times I try,
The face I remember is yours.
The light rain resting on my eyelids,
A voice that died without being heard.
Staying clueless like this,
Am I hurting you in some way?
If you knew I still can’t sleep,
Would you laugh at me?
If I keep counting these simple feelings,
I might forget the warmth you gave me.
Goodbye, we’ll never meet again,
For some reason, I feel that way, I can’t shake it off.
I can’t smile properly, I’m stuck like this.
Like a donut hole,
You can’t just cut out the hole.
I can never prove that you were real,
That’s just how it is.
No matter how many times I try,
The face I remember is yours.
Tonight, I squeeze my body
Between the blanket and the bed.
If there’s a feeling that won’t die,
Does that mean we’re safe?
I don’t wish for the past,
Just give me a shape that’s definitely born.
If I keep counting the feelings I’ve lost,
I might forget the voice you gave me.
Goodbye, we’ll never meet again,
For some reason, I feel that way, I can’t shake it off.
Tears are falling, I’m stuck like this.
The hole in my chest now
Is the only proof that confirms you.
Still, I feel empty,
My heart feels like it’s about to tear apart, I’m stuck like this.
If I keep counting these simple feelings,
I might forget the warmth you gave me.
Goodbye, we’ll never meet again.
The last thing I remembered was that little word,
Breathing quietly, our eyes wide open.
Eyes wide open, eyes wide open,
Your name is.
