Separate Ways

I think we've changed

Have you noticed how the trains

Have gone backwards for the last few lanes;

The sun has been setting high

The moon's been up for days at a time

I think this is it,

That never heard moment

After the stars align.

Because you're nothing to me,

That's how it plays,

That's the end to all fates:

We were inseparable,

And now...

Sometimes I used to think:

How wonderful would it be

To meet someone I loved so much

It would feel as if

They were never here?

How wonderful indeed,

To be lazy loved,

Lazily.

That's where it ended -

We became too big,

And I spent my nights awake

Fearing you'd leave me

To carry both our weight.

Because I'm myself again,

That's how it plays,

That's the end to all fates:

We were inseparable

And now...

It's sunrise.

And we won't make the bed until sunset;

You're gone and I sit,

And reminisce of how we met.

And think that

You would look so pretty

See-through;

I could lift up my gaze,

And see you.

But we aren't as we were;

I can't see you anymore,

You're someone I don't know

And the person that I love

Has vanished long ago.

Because we're over

That's how it plays,

That's the end to all fates:

We were inseparable

And now...

That's how it plays.

We go our separate ways.
