Us

It’s difficult to say where it began
That bitter feeling when I held your hand
It’s been too long
It’s been too long
June came, a yellow wedding day
The sun reflected off Lake Michigan spray
But that day’s long gone
That day’s long gone
We said that we would always be friends
But happy’s not the way most stories end
And though this isn’t quite what I expected
I stand corrected
These apparitions of a happy past
Like anything they cannot truly last
They’re not lifelong
Not lifelong
But there will come a day I’ll understand
I’ll look to you with an extended hand
My grip will be strong
I’ll be so strong
We said that we would always be friends
I’m writing out a new and better end
And truly this is what I first expected
We’re still connected
