It felt like the last time
that we would ever touch
though I could never explain why I thought that.
We held on so tightly
and we never did know why.
Years later I look back
across the sea of tears
the sea of blood
and I wonder why we didn't hold on longer.
If I'd held you
just a moment more,
just a second longer
then maybe...
But I can't give into what ifs
what has happened has happened
and now I live with the scars.
