Mackenzie Jane, 
I never saw you again. 
I'll always love you 
like I did back then. 

I wonder if our house misses us. 
If it knows that we're gone. 
What if all this time 
it's been asking 
what went wrong? 

I never went back home. 
Never back to you. 
I didn't even know 
it'd be my last chance 
to have you. 

Mackenzie Jane, 
I never saw you again. 
My life moves on, 
but I just pretend. 

How are you with faces? 
With you know mine with all that's changing? 
'Cause distance and our ageing 
find a comfort just to replace it. 

What about voices? 
Would you know mine? 
Has it been stuck inside your head? 
Think I've lost yours a little, 
but I do my best to keep it there. 

Mackenzie Jane, 
I never saw you again. 
Forever's feeling 
so intense. 

If we got to chose 
who we lose, 
in a million lives, 
it never would have been 
you. 

Mackenzie Jane... 
I'll never see you again. 
But I'll always love you 
like I did back then. 

Mackenzie Jane... 
Wish you were mine again. 
I love you more than  
I did back then.  

'Mackenzie' 08/02/23.
Love you like I did back then. 💙

A bittersweet song for my Mackenzie Jane. I thought we were bringing her with us when we left Australia, but my parents told me a week before that I couldn't keep her. She went to live with my friend's grandma. We only had a short time together, but I love her, I miss her, and I think about her all the time. Wish I could see her again. Wish I could have her again.
