She doesn’t want it to be about that
Twist her arm she won’t tell you
It was a quiet loss
She thinks she sees him sometimes in the hallway
An unfriendly reminder
Alive on the other coast
She remembers too much
At the edge of the kitchen
His lips on her forehead
His hands around her waist
The shadows between the words
Empty bed
Long nights
The silence
He says "Everything happens for a reason
It couldn’t be helped
I could never give you what you wanted
I tried, we tried so hard for so long "
The wedding photos
Facebook " people you may know "
The sting of reality
A long-gone apparition
She was the last to know
The birth pangs of a new romance
He says, "You know, It couldn’t be helped
She’s so young, she didn't understand
She hopes we can all be friends one day
You know, you and I
We were together for so long
The boy will be all right
He’s with you now
I'll see him in the summer
He can meet the new baby"
She hears laughter in the other room
He says everybody is awake now
I better go
Talk soon
