~then~

We sat at the edge of tomorrow
Searching with hopeful eyes
For the future we thought we shared.

~and~

We didn't know how long it would last
Nor did we care
For all our plans were promises.

~and~

We said we'd find each other
Through festivals, friendship and love
We planned for months and years.

~but~

We found our future shattered
At the bottom of despair and distrust
Betrayal and heartache and the cold hard past hit hard.

~so~

For us there will be no tomorrow
No festivals, friendship or love
Our months and years of discovery have turned to hatred.

~now~

For us the door is closed
The future is blank
The connection runs cold.
