Click hereEveryone I ever loved
I held next to my heart,
although not so near
to keep from disappearing,
but close enough, I suppose.
And if you wanted me to
hold you a little longer,
in retrospect you see
the vast unlikelihood of
how that could ever be.
Well, I held you as long as I could.
And everything you did
you did it all for me,
and everything I did
I did for you, you see;
we did it for each other.
And if it all unraveled
like a cheap Chinese suit,
this is nobodys fault
and nothing more to it;
we did it to one another.
And in time this becomes understood.
