At a table for two that didn't signify what it used to mean, I met
you for a friendly dinner, catch up on where life took each of us. Passing the time, lost in conversation, it was so easy for my heart to believe that there might still be a chance for you and me. But then, I saw it in your smile. You didn't have to speak a word, but I saw a new love holding you just like I used to do. And I mourned not for the past but for the future lost of a whole life that just went up in flames, leaving nothing but dust. I saw it in your smile. I leaned in closer to you, feeling like the old times when you still believed in a love that could only be made of you and me. You were polite and didn't pull away, made me feel bolder, but all the while you were lipping further away. Filling me in on all you were doing and the plans being made. And then, I saw it in your smile. You didn't have to speak a word, but I saw a new love holding you just like I used to do. And I mourned not for the past but for the future lost of a whole life that just went up in flames, leaving nothing but dust. I saw it in your smile. As the night slipped further away, every chance of this dream of you and me, was vanishing under the moonlight. Finally got round to talking about dating and finding that forever that every heart is yearning for. That's when I saw it that my hope was a bust. I saw it in your smile. You didn't have to speak a word, but I saw a new love holding you just like I used to do. And I mourned not for the past but for the future lost of a whole life that just went up in flames, leaving nothing but dust. I saw it in your smile. |
