I doubt this battered note will make a difference
In our silent, endless distance
But I wanted you to know that I miss this:
Our long discussions on the weather
Quiet nights we spent together
And I hope you understand
The pain and tears I put in every letter
I know eventually things will get better
Because you told me that
I wish I knew where you were at
This wrinkled piece of paper
Will end up stuffed under the alter
With all the other notes I never sent you
I guess I just forgot to
But that's fine because you'll forget me
And I'll always regret you
And there will be no happy ending
No matter what I or you say or do
So have a good time being absent
I'll try being independent
But we both know that will never happen
I'll remain the same
And you'll be forever changed
Love always,
Your lover estranged
