You said it in words as soft as sleep,
But they cut like a knife the way I keep
Playing them over inside of my head,
Hoping and wishing of others instead.

Awaken from a dreamland unattained.
We both knew it would end this way.
Too long, I stood calling from so far.
Kept my distance, but the fall was hard.

We're dancing in stardust alone most nights.
We were really always alone in those strides.
We took one step closer but so far away.
Tantalus never got the fruit he craved.

I believe in fate and all things in reason.
We'll meet again in future seasons,
If all ends well and it's meant to be.
It's not goodbye for you and me.
