The first sign

I remember how much you tried

It was hard for you to stay

You didn’t tell me why

You couldn’t even look me in the eye

I didn’t see it at first

I didn’t want to

Once I figured it out

My shame washed away

It wasn’t my doing

I was the betrayed

As you say it everything makes sense

Your lips are heavy with regret

Your eyes fill me with forgiveness

And a teary smile spreads across my face

I realize as I feel my heart thumping

That I’m still looking forward to something

Wish I was there

I had a crazy idea

That I could do things differently

That our hearts don’t choose for us

Mind is stronger than fate

I can see another life

One where I’ve taken another path

You hold my hand

And I honestly smile back

I’ve known you forever

You saw me in the snow

I thought you were strong

And you didn’t prove me wrong

I think back and wonder

What have we done?

We ran towards each other

And everything fell apart

One choice

And we don’t get there

One choice

And we don’t reach

And if one day we meet again

We can find the end

Say no to the hurt

Say no to the pain
