when you call

the lies we told never brought us any closer
but i'd like to say
we tried
and someday
when i'm
no more than
a memory
i'd like to think
you'll remember me
fondly.
the lies we told never brought us any closer
but i'd like to say
it was better love
than most
ever know.
just because you
didn't show
doesn't mean
you didn't know
what it was like
inside of me
when i held my breath
and watched the clouds
fade away
over head
like a trying night that
never seems to end.
the lies we told never brought us any closer
though i'd like to believe
no one was ever
able to get as high
as we did.
don't worry about being
alone
i'm there
and i'm smiling
back.
if we're lucky
maybe we'll get one more
time around
before it's all come to an end.
until then
i hope you remember
fondly
when you smile away
my name.
