Shadows of yesterday

"Please be mine", she whispered.

"I can't" he said.

"Had it been another situation, another day, another life."

With that, farewell did he bid.

She followed the shadow his footsteps cast.

After you're gone..

Guilty of being there
Do you feel it too? 
The thought runs in my veins
Do you seek it too? 

Does the guilt affect you
Like it does to me
Does it make you any sorry
Like it seems for me?

Unanswered questions
You've left behind
Unresolved differences
You've let loose

Silent your footsteps,
I heard them go.
Goodbye, you'd said
I heard no more.

Here we part

The single most difficult word: Goodbye.

And the mountains stood still

While the rivers went by 

The valleys echoed

Songs of that thundering sky

And a louder sound could be heard 

It was the beating of two hearts 

Overpowering the thunderous echoes 

In the morrow were they to part

And they heard not the valleys

Or the rivers or the sky. 

They hung onto one another,

Until it was time to say goodbye.
