You sat on the corner.
You were holding your head in your hands.
The moon framed your body
in a way I can’t forget.
I asked, “Can I help you?”
You said, “I doubt it, but you can try.
I’ve travelled such a long way
to reach a destination that I despise.”
Don’t worry darling; don’t give in.
Just get back on your feet and start again.
We painted a picture
of our lives when we were young.
And looking at it now,
oh, how the colors they have run.
And our friends they all tell us
that we really don’t stand a chance,
that the only thing that’s certain is that
everything ends with disappointment.
But don’t worry lover, we are blessed.
And we’ve got all the freedom to make
decisions for ourselves.
The only thing that’s certain is that
I do love you, and I always have.
