dead end

sometimes
it's what we say
at the end of the road

that's the most important

when we know
that hearts are parting
and we realize
that what completes us

will be on pause once more

do you believe
that what we have been
these few short hours

will be enough to carry us through?

or is this a walk
to our dead end
where truth is whispered

but goodbyes are never said?

let go
of what you think you were
and hold fast
to what you hope we'll be

maybe there's a reality
in between

there's nothing left
to do
but be

(dream)
