Reality settled upon us
and made itself at home
it made room between us
pushing our hearts apart

we could feel the distance
growing
and growing
and growing
I finally spoke up and
you nodded, saying, "it's for the best"
bittersweet grins were exchanged
and there was a pathetic attempt for a hug
you turned around without a wave
and I parted my lips to bid farewell

but how could I say "goodnight"
when we both knew
it wasn't
