Cadence

"I will always love you a certain way

But no it will never be the same

And so today comes the moment you foresaw

When I walk away.

The end already slipped away without a trace

And what we had died quietly

Passed peacefully in its sleep.

This moment is crushing

But only weep if you feel you want to weep,

For it already closed with a lovely cadence

A quiet justice for its grace.

Please be happy for these steps we've taken,

Though it will never be the same

In the end it will be okay."

You have no idea how much I wish you said such words to me,

Instead leaving me possibly forever

Listening for a cadence

That would come

Never.
