lost a fight with myself today
some boundaries too tough to obey
when it's just so easy to call you
found some behaviors to replace
the precious chance to see your face
trace those smile lines, so true
so I sat with your favorite glass of bourbon
didn't forget the single cube of ice
picked at the hole in the knee of my jeans
while I stared at the indigo sky
with the time we are taking to evolve
scars from our egos will dissolve
I lie here with the wish
that I could write you a song
but forgive me
the words would only come out wrong
for that wedding, I chose your tie
you held me close, and I just sighed
both knowing it was too soon
at the river, you held my hand
only memories, no demands
witnessed by the sunset in June
so I sat out back to smoke your cigar
recalling which was my favorite kiss
smoothed a balm across my wounds
hoping it's me that you miss
with the time we are taking to evolve
scars from our egos will dissolve
I stay here with the wish
that I could write you a song
but forgive me
the words would only come out wrong
