I can feel us slipping away
And I guess it's better that way
Because I can't hold on to any part of you
And although we both want it
Our friendship would never fit
Into the futures that are waiting for us both
Our talks will grow to few
Until there's nothing left of me and you
And we will just live on in each other's memory
And I will marry a good man
That I love more than life
And you won't be there to see me walk down the aisle
And you will find a lovely woman
And she will share your passions
And I will want all the happiness in the world for you
Because in the end we were a chapter, not a book
A verse, but a not a poem
And now I know it's better that way.
