Esther I forgive you For leaving me behind I know It was your time to leave And it wasn't mine Esther I forgive you I walk a different path than yours May we Someday meet again On not so foreign shores Esther I'm so sorry I cannot be the one you thought you'd know I hope (I hope) With love inside your heart That you'd have seen me grow Esther I forgive you For leaving me behind I know It was your time to leave And it wasn't mine

If we had more time Would you Have taught me how to be Could you Have loved me as I am Would you Have let me wander free I never learned to hold the sword The javelin I’ll never throw I guard myself with words and hurt My shield melts in the snow Did you ever know Our time would cut so short What would you have done With that secret tiny worth I’ll never know your stories Or you passions Or your joys You left before I saw you Now you’re only background noise So many things about me That I cannot ever tell And things still to discover All just wishes in a well I love you I love you I love you But you’ll never hear me say it again

about

May 16th is my mum's birthday. She would've been 55 this year. I wanted to release a couple songs I wrote about my feelings and grief around her passing.

All songs written by Jacob Zelman.

Special thanks to Bex for listening to my music and inspiring me to create, Anj for helping me make the album cover by making the text transparent so I could move it around in the editing software, Nina and Cassidy for hyping me up in voice chat the night before I put this out, the Cool Crew Discord server, and my mum Judy for the seven years we had together.
