Leaving Rhode Island

we'll sit here and listen as it envelops our existence

silently we'll witness the instant come with no resistance

just reminiscing about how it was

how it is how it never will be and how come

letting the sand slip through our hands like an hourglass

our last thoughts of how fast the hours passed

back when time mattered + we shattered every dream we ever had

and then walked on the shards to bleed and understand

my feet never healed. it's a constant reminder that

things fall apart

and that life is defined as

an action that you would have taken differently

if you had only known

 

like this epiphany of you and me alone

 

looking into your eyes as they reflect the chaos in the sky

yeah - better late than never

although we would've been great together
