The results are out; new kids on the block
I look back and find you steady like a rock
I was once there where the marbles still stay
As new footsteps count themselves, yearning for breath.

I wonder what lives on in actuality
The memories in me or our eroded footsteps;
 Or these letters and half-sentences
Or simply nothing since you never cared to stay.
