• How have you been?

    You asked how I had been And I thought to say that I’d been Looking at the same 2 stars each night And pretending they were your eyes That I’d cried myself to sleep unforgiven More nights than a heart could handle That I had dug and dug Through piles of dirt and layers of…

    Maybe I will always miss what we almost had.  And maybe it’s the maybes and the almosts that will always eat away at me.  Those Halloweens you talked about.
