Echoes End

Snapped in a frame with the Leica in your hand
Casual Tuesday rain slamming down with hail
Collision kaleidoscope reflecting the misty downtown air
You and I, without knowing why, pass through there
Your nail polish is noir black, my eyes are gazing onto you
You have a scent I want to never forget
Can I buy your perfume

And when it was 8 o'clock
We saw the cars pass
Memory defiant with a brimstone rose
And when I look back
I see us right there
Before the accident
That showed we didn't care

That is why
I cannot be with you
Now it's time
For me to forget you
In hindsight
I should've said this
A long time ago
So goodbye
My path leads somewhere new
No more cry
I'm breaking free
It's overdue
By and by
I'll discover new joy without you

Cancelled all the plans, even the dinner date with you
Talked to my therapist who said "you can't be subdued"
You gave a deathblow, how could you not reminisce of all the times when we were in our honeymoon
You kept my notebook that is filled with poems about you
Would you want to read them if they make you feel the whirlpools

And when it was 8 o'clock
We saw the cars pass
Memory defiant with a brimstone rose
And when I look back
I see us right there
Before the accident
That showed we didn't care

That is why
I cannot be with you
Now it's time
For me to forget you
In hindsight
I should've said this
A long time ago
So goodbye
My path leads somewhere new
No more cry
I'm breaking free
It's overdue
By and by
I'll discover new joy without you

When I wrote about you in the manuscript I published
I realized that we would never ever be for each other
And when the students on the campus speak anything about me, it tends to be negative and nonchalantly demean
Introspection aside, I've come to realize
That if I were to jump off a cliff
They'd laugh because of how I fell down and died
Despite that, I question what you hear and what you think of me
Cause', years now, our story is us being strangers that never meet

That is why
I cannot be with you
Now it's time
For me to forget you
In hindsight
I should've said this
A long time ago
So goodbye
My path leads somewhere new
No more cry
I'm breaking free
It's overdue
By and by
I'll discover new joy without you

That is why
I cannot be with you
Now it's time
For me to forget you
In hindsight
I should've said this
A long time ago
So goodbye
My path leads somewhere new
No more cry
I'm breaking free
It's overdue
By and by
I'll discover new joy without you
