When It's Over

When it's over
I see what was really there.
How I could never keep you,
you were never satisfied.
Is there something you tried to say?
I probably just wasn't listening.
I forgot how to love someone,
I missed the beauty of what lied simply within the reach of my outstretched fingertips.
They didn't stretch quite far enough.

I wish for only the best
Now it's over.
I fucked up for the both of us,
It is becoming ever clearer.
Is there something you tried to do?
I probably just didn't see.
I missed the lovliness of what encircled me to
too close touch, too far to push away.
I didn't try to touch this enough.

I wish only to go back
A time and place
so far so gone.
Mistakes of the past,
if they could only change.

It's becoming ever clear
There's something I didn't do.
In the morning,
I didn't touch your face.
In the night
I didn't hold you close.
In the light
I didn't return your smile.
In the darkness,
I let you leave.




I should have stopped you.
