Denver Nights

When did 
goodbye become a song
So here’s to 
All the things 
We never thought we’d say
Don’t want to leave
But we both know 
I can’t stay

Too soon  
tomorrow summons me away
Here we are 
Awaiting autumns fall
Your tears tell me
Time has cast us apart 
For far too long

Tell me, when did
Goodbye become our song
The bus awaits
My train departs 
I’m away from home
These lonesome days 
Spent in Oklahoma 

Here we are 
Just the two of us 
Dawn awaits a touch of silence
Try and say 
What it is you have to say
I don’t want to
But you know I have to go

Up the boulevard we walk 
Sunsets, August fades 
Are we at peace with our songs 
You awoke 
Passenger side in an unknown car
Estranged in this day
We changed in our own ways

Great poem. Really touching and you can feel the hurt as you prepare to say goodbye
