Days Went By

Days went by and we
ignorant of life
let them pass
couldn't care less
Behind every corner
the threat of separation haunting
it just wasn't our concern
Until the day the fading left no respite
Stories pile up in my head
blurring outlines of regret
never got to understand
how this could end
Letting blame lie aside
can't say if the fault is yours or mine
Thankful for the best times
that we spent
Best things just end
Nights I've spent alone
building up this quiet that has arisen past the storm
Days go by and we
now used to these lies
let them pass
as if they never affect us
Behind every page we turn
the feeling that something has been lost
when we will ever learn
to not let the important things go.
