I'll keep your picture in my wallet
I'll write you in this tune
Where did all these months go?
cause suddenly now it's June
Time doesn't move for me
There is no one else for me
Not even close
I'll continue to say I'm sorry
Until my face turns blue
Where on earth did my mind go?
Is it up there with the moon?
Time doesn't move for me
There is no one else for me
Not even close
I'll continue to say I'm sorry
Until my face turns blue
Have you found my mind yet?
Overrun with thoughts of you

The Architecture of Return
Returning is not a single moment. It is a construction process, slow and deliberate, built from the inside out. After the storms, after the altitude, after the cost, you find yourself standing in the quiet aftermath with nothing but the truth you’ve earned and the pieces of a life that no longer fits. This is where the real work begins—not in rising, not in surviving, but in building something that can hold you without requiring your disappearance.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Really like the repetition here, gorgeous
a poetry that missing someone. Nice!
The “there is nobody else for me, not even close” line hit me so hard, Frankie. Super powerful work here.
although now I’m understanding that you should be sorry too I love your poem… these lines kept repeating in my head after reaching the end so I thought I’d share them ♥️🌟 There is a tendency for people to take on too much blame because their attachment seeks to reconnect with the other… and when that weakens… we often realise that the other person was never blameless….
