People I Thought Were Still Here

People I Thought Were Still Here For at least five years, I’ve been trying to find the words for a feeling I couldn’t quite capture—the sadness of watching more and more people from my past disappear. Friends I grew up with, laughed with and shared pieces of my life with, even if I hadn’t seen them in twenty years. Somehow, I simply believed they were still out there. This song is for all of them—and for the pieces of our younger selves that live on in the people who remember us. To all the people I thought were still here: rest in peace, and thank you for the love, the laughter, and the memories.
