Swan Song

How can I miss something I never really had?
I have never felt your touch, or kissed your lips.
I have never seen you wake up in the morning,
Or known the smell of your skin.

But somehow you were mine.

How can I mourn for what was never lost?
When you say that we are friends,
And you care for me all the same.
But everything has changed.

Because now you belong to another.

How can I go back to a place that never was?
We never had a chance to be together,
Except in our hearts. Now I am lost,
And I don't know where to go.

Because your heart felt like my home.

How can I move on into this unknown?
How can we become less than what we've been?
Always less than what I wanted, yet more than this.
I will learn to be something else again.

Anything is better than goodbye.

So this will be my last love song, my final cry.
The last time you see my tears,
My heart exposed, the pain in my eyes.
And I will smile, and be happy for you.

At least, I will try.
