Distant Lovers

i can’t say exactly what it is
but deep down I know it’s something
the distance is slowly setting in
i finally feel it coming

we exchange regrets and sighs
during our phone conversations
its like we're rushing through silence
while living a lie
when did forever become so impatient

lust was the cognac
that influenced us move too fast
drunk with desperation
and reckless emotion
we collided in a heart-to-heart crash

you nurtured my pain and incompletion
i distracted you from being single and healing
now I'm 2 times as hurt and you're lonelier than ever
wishing we'd kept those old feelings

a wise man knows how to pick his battles
and also when to admit defeat
with no motivation or strength to fight for what's left
i'd rather let my guard down with relief

good bye is on the tip of your tongue
i hear it every time you take a deep breath
inhale the memories and savor the moment
it seems
that's all
we have left

Good Bye
