Lives intersect, Countlessly, Few ever connect For eternity, Or even for more, Than a moment, Before they are torn, And sent In every possible direction, But ours resonated, Leaving a collection Of memories we created. Now all that remains, Is people estranged From the pain Of forced change, That's my fault, My ignorance Like salt On a wound opened at every chance. I wish we could go back To the place before, But I realize you and I lack, The trust we had before I tore Us apart. I realize, We can't just restart, And rise, Above this, I'm sorry I was the one to twist Our starry Midnight, Into a thunderstorm That consumes all in sight, And left us forlorn.
