What we had 
was long ago 
what we have 
is very little 
so this now
is either new
a fresh start 
or it’s old 
and finally over 

It’s when 
what one 
thought isn’t 
won’t be 
and never 
really was
that one 
hears the 
screeching of
the brakes 
and one 
waits for 
what one 
knows will 
come next 

I’d once thought 
that you were 
the one who 
got away but 
it has finally 
hit me that 
I’m the one 
who really did 

My goal 
at night 
is simple 
to wake 
up tomorrow 
happier than 
I ever 
was today 

The other 
side of
goodbye and 
goodnight is
hello and 
hello is
so sweet 
when given 
to you
