Since I Saw You Last: A Poem

Since I saw you last
The façades have faded
I know you've realized
You don't like what you've found
And we can't go back.

When I saw you last
We gazed beyond
To the horizon
Where all was silent.

Since I saw you last
Grace found us
By the side of the road
Wishing, waiting, wanting
Will you let me go?

When I saw you last
You asked me if I believed it anymore
No, I said.
No, I don't.

Since I saw you last
The sun still shines
The stars haven't dimmed
But the moon is gone
And I can't see anymore.
