On the day we said goodbye I bruised
Both of my legs on a metal cart.
That was the third time I hugged you
and the last time for a long while.
I set your photo among my pointless knick-knacks.
I hung those lyrics on my wall,
Right beside my bed.
Maybe now when I sleep
Elephants will dance through my head.
Maybe now when I board a bus
I'll feel like something's missing.
We stumbled along in the beginning
As mere strangers.
Now I fear we've learned to walk
And met a fork in the road.
So many mornings weren't enough.
I wish we were in the library again
Looking up "Chocolate".
I wish we were in the dark again
Walking amongst the Christmas lights.
I wish we were smelling candles
Or quietly sitting side by side.
I'll write you a million letters
Until I can see you again.
