A Little Longer

	I had to be sure that our final words
	Were definite and not premature
	But now that we’re done, I cannot bear
	To hear your voice no more
	No bride and groom in my darkened room
	I wake up alone and struggle to rise
	My stomach’s in knots, my eyelids are sore
	And loneliness remains
	I heard us say “Goodbye”
	And maybe I’m having regrets
	I thought we’d last
	A little longer than we did.
	There’s pieces of you lying around
	A discarded shoe, your favourite towel
	And all I can do is gather them up
	And put them away.
	I heard us say “Goodbye”
	And maybe I’m having regrets
	I thought we’d last
	A little longer than we did
	A little longer than we did
