The Time Has Come

You have changed
And so have I
Time passed and left a gaping hole
Where healing wont mend

The rhythm of togetherness
That gelled us
Exist no more
We are fading
 
Things happen
People drift
Lives evolve
 
No more understanding at that deep level
That saw no tears 
Sightings of nostalgia only makes the present ache so much more
My heart has lost the beat that only you caused
The time has come
 
We came to today together
Separate journeys that in the past worked well
We made memories that will bring out emotions we stifled 
And maybe smiles 

Looking back is just part of the new story
We must look ahead
When the day of reckoning comes
After we withhold our care
We will have done what is needed to survive each other 

Goodbye 
Say a prayer for our futures 
Forget me one day
Forgive me soon 
As I will you
