Unwilling footsteps on concrete,
Shadow trailing from the pavement.
With every broken string left intact,
All cracked pieces scattered.

The ghost of farewell on my lips,
Visions of felicity which these eyes seek.
Time eventually elapsed,
A sealed kiss on a hushed cry.

Whispered goodbyes,
Stuck left untold.
Undelivered messages sent,
For empty hand to hold.

Millions of lettered apologies,
Kept locked without a key.
Though distance goes on without end,
Paths will cross not to be missed, my friend.

For infinite goodbyes meant nothing,
To those hearts that beat with every sting.
