this would be
ten-times easier
if i were
ten-thousand miles
away

but i'm not
you're here
and i'm here

i feel like
we're in one
of those old
tom wait's songs
one of the sad
ones

the kind that
God
gave him
that voice
to sing

but this
isn't a song

this is real
painfully
real

and now
this is
our goodbye
