It’d been seven years since you stole that kiss

At seduction’s end—our cosmic myth

No words could ever prove

What subtle kisses misconstrue

Now in my dreams, subconscious leans

Into what has never been

We laughed, we smiled, we talked awhile

Just like… uh, way back when

When I woke, my heart was broke

And clouds filled up the sky

All day again, it rained, my friend

I couldn't help but cry

I needed words—some beautiful love

From down around or up above

Oh, that scene—it tortures my dreams

She couldn't speak, but I heard her screams

Her trembling mother’s bloodshot eyes

All her pain while she cried

Death was close… but oh, let it ride

Yeah, let it ride

Death’s not always the one to fear

It hurts to call that “living” there

She’ll never recover—

Nothing left to dread

I can't forget your mother...

Or what went on inside your head

Ten years you lived my worst fears

And still, I never said goodbye

Selfishly—I couldn’t bear to see you there

I’m so sorry I never said goodbye
