on this day...at this hour
we exchanged our vows
speaking for myself...
how sad we did not keep them
such great hope I had
I was never sure
did ever you share my dream?
that itself is sad
did I wear you down
pressuring you to agree
to lift us from sin?
did we grow apart
or were we not together
never...from the start?
you were as you were
not an idea of you...
the one I made up
at least so it seems
looking now from a distance
with emotion tamed
anger you still hold
that's what I seem to trigger
thus I elude speech
I wish we were friends
past good times we then could share
memories recall
should I chance calling
to remind you of this day
risk baring a wound?
or if I'm silent
could that as well be a hurt?
a difficult choice
I choose the safe way
remembering on my own
perhaps what was not
