but I still memorized
Committing something to memory despite challenging circumstances.
the constellations in your eyes

The constant shaking of my voice keeps me inside

I hate the way I talk

so I drink and so smoke
Suggesting coping mechanisms of drinking and smoking to deal with insecurities.
Til I forget the things we said
Seeking escape from memories and emotional pain through substance use.

and I'll regret the smoke on my breath
Expressing remorse for the impact of personal habits on relationships.

I can't keep doing this

Now I'm in bed quietly coughing into my pillow so you don't wake up

I'm sorry if you did

I'll find the time I promise this of all the things it's your voice I miss

In these cold nights where there's no moon I'll look at the sky hope I'll see you soon

Quietly Coughing so you don't wake up

Silently while walking you home I'll hope this road never ends I'll hope this road never-
Expressing a desire for the continuation of a shared journey, possibly metaphorical.
