I left you alone one night,

it was a long time ago,

we were both so afraid,

we knew the end was nearing.

I wanted to say something,

look you in the eye,

tell you who I really am.

Then I began to wonder,

what happens when tomorrow,

changes everything we believe,

let’s us imagine that one is over.

I couldn’t let go that night,

kept wandering the aisles

wishing you might appear,

Anna Karenina in hand.

I wanted to hold onto the truth.
