Beginning Of The End

You left me standing there
The night you flew away
I begged you to remember
But you forgot us anyway

Memories fell upon my cheeks
Watery hurt lay salty on my lips
Static thoughts moving rapidly
As I searched for signs I had missed

Desperate for a silent escape
Sleep was my sole life line
Only waking to conjure a potion
Sleeping pills and cheap red wine

The longer you were gone
The greater the distance grew
And as time ticked by in seconds
Every minute passed, I knew

As you began to see me change
The way you had always dreamed
Your heart drifted back to me
And I to you, or so it seemed

But I hold a secret still my love
That I have not the strength to say
It circles my heart restlessly
As you plan to come back to stay

I loved you then and I love you now
You will always be my best friend
But a new beginning for me has meant
That for us, it may mean the end.
