End of Story

We began just like a dance

A music swell, a soft romance

Sometimes you waltz

Across my mind

And I almost think I find

Myself again in your embrace

The only place I once felt safe

But then you left for brighter shores

Swore I would think of you no more

It killed me but I cut the chord

Severed ties that we’d spent time tying

It hurt like hell but I’m better for it

The love is dying, but I’m not dying

I closed the book on you and me

Wrote the end of the final chapter

Didn’t waste my time on dreams

On what comes after

The ever after

Swept back in my life again

Taking the form of a raging storm

Your waves still crash

Upon my shore

I’m glad you’re back

Won’t ask for more

I wrote the white knight off

Into a faded sunset glory

I thought the love was lost

Forever. End of story

That was our story

I closed the book on us back then

Wrote the end of the final chapter

Didn’t think we’d begin again

Love could come after

The ever after

You and I

A soft refrain

I’ve got stuck in my brain again

I only hope this time you stay

I only pray this time you stay
