After The War

I just said you could listen for a while,

I never meant to hurt you,

I never knew that I could feel.

I never saw you blink when you would smile, your arms would always open, your face bright, as it would change.

Always the same, as you would, my minds in pieces awaiting the change.

Always the break, you could call, and forget the secrets you kept, after the war.

As I flew away I looked back just to see the ground,

hopeless in my vision,

I never had the chance to say goodbye.

I could see that the world is getting small,

faces I remember, farther from these ghosts I climb.

Always the same, as you would, my minds in pieces awaiting the change.

Always the break, you would fall, and forget the secrets you kept, after the war.

I can see the grin that you always tried to hide,

you left it here for certain,

in my heart where it will die.

Standing in between I can feel the spaces small,

you left me without reason, the best has left us all.

Always the same, as you would, my minds in pieces awaiting the change.

Always the break, you would call, and forget the secrets you kept, after the war
