I made your favourite cake
i knew you'd like it
and my body was tired
but i stayed up late to make sure it was ready just for you
just how you like it.
When you told me you weren't coming
something else has come up
I said,
what about the cake
and you told me you would have it another day
because something else had come up
and it did time and time again
and there was only so many times i could bear that feeling
a feeling i wanted to reject
a feeling of feeling a reject.
So I called the whole thing off and you agreed
even then it hurt me to see
you felt the same.
It was my first birthday without you and I guess you thought about what i'd be going through
i watched you walk away after you dropped my present at the door
i thought,
after all this time,
we are strangers you and i
You've left this gift at my door and now i watch your frame walk away
wondering what days
lie ahead for you and I
separately.
Strangers we are now,
when you flicker through my mind
do i wander through yours at the same time.
Once we were,
now -
never to be
our moments in time
separately.
