You let things fall through the cracks
Watch them slip away
Watch them float to the ocean floor

Words.
              Lost words.
                                    Last words.
                                                          ­Unsaid words.
Misplaced.

But gripping too tightly breaks things
Crushing memories
                                     Crippling silence
                            Dust.
Holding on for longer than necessary

No wind is strong enough
       No amount of time is still enough
             No conversation lasted for long enough


I love you.
                    Not said enough.
                                                    Stay.­

Unwired, untrusted
Unfinished, undone
Colour me foolish,
                                  colour me blind.
Colour me foolish,
                                  colour me blind.

Stories have been written about misfortune
Tales have been told about loss
But it didn't prepare me for this
No,
       it didn't prepare me for this

Being irrevocably in love
          and never knowing
                  never knowing

Too little; time
                  hours
                  days
             ­     words
                  memories.          Too late; time
                                                            ­    hours
                                                       ­         days
                                                   ­             words
                                              ­                  memories.


Are you even listening?
        Did you ever pay attention?

"I could never leave you...
  I'm so sorry..."
                                              "I love you..."

The end.
                The end.
                                 The end.
                                                  The end.
