Door Closing

I reached out for you today but you were gone, Truth is, I’ve been holding on for so long,

I always felt this day would come, Though my heart always wanted us to find our way back home,

I guess now I don’t need to pretend anymore, You were never coming back, I was only holding open what should have remained a closed door,

I saw what I meant to you wither and die, But even when it did, I was hoping to revive, Because the love I have got for you continued to survive,

I’ll never be able to stop thinking while I’m alive, Of what we could have been, All the things we had yet to have seen, But they will now forever remain dreams, As I close the door, that you did before
