Well, Darling

I guess this is it.
Here we are, with an expanse of history and an uncertain future
I can't imagine what you must be thinking
Of course, there was a time when I knew
Once upon a time I knew every thought you had before you did
I knew every emotion by the subtle, almost invisible, flashes on your face
I knew your face, so beautiful and in love
I could make you smile just by smiling at you
and, Darling, how I loved that smile
I loved the smile and the way it lit you up
You're whole body, waking up in anticipation for life
I knew every curve and edge of you
and I loved you
So much that it became my biggest weakness.
There was love, and I can't forget it
Even though, Darling, there isn't any love now.

You let me in once, and we were vulnerable to each other.
But it only made us stronger
Darling, we only broke when you closed the door

So I don't know what you're thinking, and I'm about to walk away
I won't hurt you any longer
But I won't pretend to forget
Because Darling, you and I both know
There was love once
Until we both let go
