i lost you to distance,
i lost you to time;
i ran to retrieve you,
but there was too long a line...

too many people
standing in our way,
not enough hours,
not enough days...

a relationship torn,
and two hearts too worn;
the battle was lost
at an unrecoverable cost...

and the rest of our lives,
we'll live in regret.
trying to remember,
what we once tried to forget....
