The Last Excuse.

calamansourjah

I wasn’t asking for too much

Just more than you could provide.

I wish I’d seen the ending credits

Before the change in tide.

The ocean washed it all away

I loved, I loved and I lost.

I'd been dreaming about that sunset

But never considered the cost.

The whispers and the echoes

Of words spoken in past lives.

I can see the edges blurring

Of the real and the revised.

Throw the bottle in the waves

And hope the message gets lost at sea.

It says ‘be back soon’

Whenever that may be.

Days turn into weeks and months

And waves, they crash and break.

Nothing's ever as good as you remember,

Everything took fifty takes.

The fickle tide turns, and changes again

Bringing the words right back to my feet.

See I loved and I loved and I loved and I lost

But in the end all I needed was me.
