hello, are you here?
i've crossed the bridge, i guess.
all this time you've been near
but i never really got my yes.
no - i've got nothing at all
because that's what i've given you
the bridge had no chance to fall
it's just kept on building anew.
this side is just fine;
the fence is breaking down
no blockage, barriers, clear drawn lines
yet you seem so entitled to the crown.
it's taken me time to realize, sure
that it's me who set it on your head
i know you're obviously not who you were -
you're a symbol; royalty of my memory instead.
months and miles are ready for you, now
tell my nostalgic desires so long
i'll cross the bridge back, if you'll allow
but look, like that,
it's gone.
