Door

who would have thought it would take so long
to finish the words of our final song
we thought we could make it
break it and retake it
but that isn't so.

there comes a time when hello will not do
when promises broken, things that are unspoken
are bigger than me and you.

and life must go on
so now goodbye (old lover, long ago friend)
may the angels help you
with what I could not.

for our journey has come to an end
say farewell to me and you
for I have been broken
with things that were spoken
and a new promise just will not do.
