One Thought After Another

I can feel the distance between us

The only thing you've given me

That I can trust

We don't know what tore us apart after we said "forever"

Better yet, tell me what kept us together

It was all so short that it felt like one moment

I gave you my heart

But you weren't very good at owning it

I have to admit that I thought we'd last longer

I guess love left us out on the street

And we were goners

You ran away without any second thoughts

I just lay there and in the net of sorrow my tears were caught

The moon crossed the sky

Marking the months that I was without you

And I held it all inside until I had to let you know the truth

I told you I loved you

But again there were very few words you were strong enough to say

I wish I could have seen your face when you said I'm sorry

But my tears blurred the way

And here we find ourselves still figuring out how to recover

We won't look back

But we won't forget what we've both discovered

Maybe in some way we'll always be a part of each other

Maybe we're both thinking about it

One thought after another
